Can't see how she has graduated or not has anything to do with it, she mentioned she has studied european law which is what is relevant here. She also has 4 years more formal legal legal training than the majority the people on this board, 2 years more than myself.

And while I freely admit to not having read the whole of the European Human Rights Act.....it was covered in courses that I did during my time in the NHS...as part of a Management qualification....so my information isn't purely from the newspapers...and we don't all read the red top tabloid press.
The act is here if you do wish to read it

Human Rights Act 1998 (c. 42)

If you wanted to look at any others a quick google will find you them - they are all online nowadays
