I am a former attorney who is now a full-time academic. I have three degrees being Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Laws and Master of Laws degrees. I am currently completing my Doctor of Laws degree in International Law. I am an avid reader and love to write non-fiction, hence the journey undertaken to start writing articles online. I am a koi fish hobbyist and consider myself an expert when it comes to the keeping of koi, particularly the "how-to" of building state of the art koi ponds and filters. I research my doctorate thesis online and have had very unfortunate experiences with poorly written and biased articles published about the state of international relations in the middle-east. I believe it is important to keep suchlike content neutral and fact-based so as to allow the reader to make up his/her own mind about the conclusions they wish to draw from the facts presented. As it were "let the facts speak for themselves" (res ipsa locquitor - Latin). I look forward to being part of your community !!!!
