October 2026

This is the first FPR newsletter. It will come once a month and say what was added to the journal: new entries on the wanted list, and pieces as they are published.

This month the list grew by a hundred and two entries. Most are in areas that were thin: evidence, civil procedure, tort, property and international law. There are also eight more dissents, four of them from the constitution benches of 2024.
