ABSTRACT
If the wealth of academic and media debate is anything to go by, the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) has already had a massive impact on the United Kingdom. In particular, it would seem that human rights concerns have become all pervasive in legal practice. Whether judicial reaction will encourage such a movement will always be in dispute but there can be little doubt that lawyers will become increasingly aware of human rights considerations in their work. They are already learning how to adapt to the new environment through trial (literally) and error.
