There is a brief article in the Guardian here about legacy of the Magna Carta and the five-year celebrations planned as the 800-year anniversary approaches in 2015. Here is a link to a video interview with UK Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke on the relevance of the Magna Carta today.

The Magna Carta connects a number of my interests: law, history, and religion.

Here’s the link to the Magna Carta website from the British Library, nicely done: you can even read the Latin (all lawyers can read Latin, right? Who’s with me?)

An enjoyable book on the history and context of 1215 and the Magna Carta here, and a more scholarly book with text and commentary here.
(Be sure to read some of the crotchety comments after the article, too.)
