HOLO Books is grieved to announce that Derek died on 27 April 2020. Derek and his work were so admired that friends and colleagues contributed to Lawyer, Scholar, Teacher and Activist: A Liber Amicorum in Honour of Derek Roebuck edited by Neil Kaplan and Robert Morgan published by HOLO Books on 27 April 2021. This, and Derek's other titles, can be ordered in the usual way, particularly from this website.
Susanna plans to maintain HOLO Books and will continue to write and publish.

The two colleagues who were joint authors with Derek of English Arbitration and Mediation in the Long Eighteenth Century, Francis Calvert Boorman and Rhiannon Markless, have now completed the final volume - Arbitration and Mediation in the Nineteenth Century England - of Derek's arbitration history series which started with Ancient Greek Arbitration. This was published on 9 May 2024. It can be ordered from this website.
