[photo removed - too scary!] Norman Doe is my tutor for Comparative Law of Religion. He has an interesting story of how the course came to be. Back in the 1500s, Henry VIII banned the teaching of Canon law, which at the time was Roman Catholic law.

It wasn't until 1991 that Norman looked around the educational establishments in the UK only to discover that there was no one teaching in this field. So he started an LLM, which allowed all the people who work with English Canon law to learn about their field.
