Journey I guess, I say that because it took me a while to get here. My name is Kelly Thornton, I am about to start my final year at law school in London and I have decided to write a law based blog. I am aware that law based blog makes people run for the hills. Hear me out. My blog Legal Luminance will explore not only legal issues which will be of interest to lawyers and law students but also the general public. I will look at issues wider than law and aim to write about legal and non-legal issues that both affect and interest me and my readers. I decided to start a blog in order to document how my legal knowledge and writing skills develop in an attempt to track my progress from novice blogger to hopefully legal journalist or possibly barrister. That is why this is and will be a journey. For the past few months I have been reading around current affairs and legal issues in an attempt to find a niche in the blogging market. This will by no means be your average legal blog full of cases and legal terminology that the lay person and perhaps most lawyers do not even fully understand. I want to create a place where people young and old, legally trained and not can openly discuss and critique the law, media and court decisions of today. I will aim to get across both sides to every argument and include as many alternative interpretations as possible. At the heart of it my real reason for doing this is to illuminate in you the curiosity I have in me. In an oppresive world of stereotypes and state power the desire to know and learn and opine about important and contreversial topics is rare and very much sought after.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope you decide to read more of my material soon.
