Dr Austen Morgan, barrister at 33 Bedford Row, has recently had his legal essays published by The Belfast Press. These essays are now also available to buy on Amazon.
In the first work, titled 'The Northern Ireland Troubles: Strasbourg’s Article 2 in Legacy Cases, a Legal Essay', Austen Morgan discusses the law on dealing with the past, and in particular article 2 (the right to life) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Will Strasbourg interrupt the Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023? Or will Northern Ireland find its way 25 years after the Belfast Agreement?

The second is 'A Tale of Two Statutes: Human Rights and Equality, a Legal Essay'. In this legal essay, Austen Morgan, adopting a constitutional approach, challenges the human rights community and the equality industry, for tipping variously into woke religion. He reaffirms the commitment to a UK bill of rights, distanced from Strasbourg, and to anti-discrimination law, shorn of special pleading and reverse discrimination.
