As NLJ marks its 200th anniversary (it was first published as The Law Journal in 1822), NLJ consultant editor David Greene looks back two centuries and the development since in terms of rule of law, human rights, equality and equal justice

We take such things for granted at our peril, as history shows. Greene writes: ‘The natural accrual of power is always a threat and 200 years of history dictate that we must be ever watchful. History and current events show how quickly the descent to authoritarianism can happen and where that leads.’
