As an Intellectual Property Lawyer, 2003 gave us the Legal Practitioners Remuneration Order, the Copyright Act, Data Protection Act, (amended) Evidence Act among others.

Trump won 51% of the vote in Iowa,  giving him the largest margin of victory  in the history of the state’s Republican caucuses. Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, secured a di...
