In the new series, Beyond Doctrine, Janice speaks to interesting lawyers doing interesting things. Each episode steps outside black-letter law to uncover the ideas, careers, and curiosities shaping the legal world today. From emerging scholarship to unexpected professional paths, Beyond Doctrine explores how law lives, evolves, and influences the world far beyond the page. In this episode, Janice speaks to Alistair Mills on the book he recently co-edited (with David Blundell KC and Miranda Butler) ‘The Law and Practice of Human Rights’.

This book is a comprehensive yet practical guide to human rights law in the UK. Rooted in the European Convention on Human Rights but also grounded in the enduring relevance of common law traditions, it brings together a team of 32 practitioners experts (many from Landmark Chambers) to deliver both legal analysis and actionable insight.

Alistair Mills is the Dias College Assistant Professor in Law at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Before joining academia full time, he practised as a barrister at Landmark Chambers. He is a Co-Editor of the journal Judicial Review and an Assistant Editor of the Encyclopedia of Planning Law and Practice.
