  BBC NEWS | Wales | Peter Law, rebel who had a cause
Peter Law once told me that if he had been supported by Labour in his attempt to be the deputy presiding officer in the assembly - a kind of consolation prize for his demotion - things may have turned out very differently.
Peter Law was a rebel looking for a cause and it came when his party decided to impose an all women short list in his constituency of Blaenau Gwent.
It was an issue Peter Law was passionately opposed to and he decided to stand against the party's official candidate Maggie Jones in the 2005 general election.

 Peter Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Law left the Labour Party in protest at the use of an all-woman shortlist in selecting the candidate for the general election, which was used to replace the retiring member Llew Smith.
Law believed all-woman shortlists were being selectively imposed on local parties only where a leadership supported male candidate was unlikely to be selected, citing the example of Ed Balls and Pat McFadden as new leadership-supported male candidates, and noting that use of all-woman shortlists had been stopped in Scotland.
Law won the seat on a swing of 49%, defeating Labour candidate Maggie Jones, and gaining a majority of 9,121 votes.

 Sojourn in Africa
Before entering law school, I wanted to pursue a career in the emerging field of international environmental-human rights law and policy.
I searched the globe for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focusing on international human rights and environmental law issues, and I came across the Lawyers Environmental Action Team (LEAT), an NGO started in 1994 by three graduating students with idealistic views of changing Tanzania's laws to protect the environment, its people and the wildlife.
LEAT also analyzes environmental land laws for the Tanzanian Government, helps formulate new environmental law and policies, advocates local indigenous people's rights, and helps create environmental awareness through outreach programs and education.
