Topics of discussion included ArbCom elections, the bad coverage of law on Wikipedia and the reasoning behind it (determined to be 1) it is almost impossible to present a worldwide view of some legal concepts and 2) the people who know about law are lawyers and lecturers, and when you've spent eight hours applying the damn thing you're in no mood to write about it when you get home), Ironholds trying to explain the concept of mens rea to the (unlucky) one person at the table without legal training (and cocking it up), the succession policy should the Prime Minister be removed unexpectedly and various other concepts in British politics and postgrad studies at Cambridge. Discussion of Law led to List of demons being discussed, particularly in terms of some of the odder additions that list had seen come and go, discussion subsequently moved online and the article was renamed and split.
