Bond tracked down the former Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Halsbury on holiday in Nice to invite him to be the Editor-in-Chief of ''The Laws of England''.〔http://lexisnexis.co.uk/HalsburysLaw/halsburys_laws_about.html〕 Traditionally, the role of Editor-in-Chief of ''Halsbury's Laws'' is held by a former Lord Chancellor, and the current incumbent is Lord Mackay of Clashfern. In 2007, ''Halsbury's Laws'' celebrated its centenary with an evening of seminars led by Lord Mackay of Clashfern and Professor Richard Susskind OBE, and the publication of a collection of centenary essays.〔http://www.lexisnexis.co.uk/store/catalog/printProductDetailInfo.jsp?prodId=ukprod9781405733915HLCE&price=19.95&skuId=uksku9781405733915HLCE9841〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Halsbury's Laws of England」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
