- court clerk to litigant : Are you in person? *blank face* Do you understand what I mean? *blank face* Do you have a lawyer? litigant : no I have just watched this exact sequence repeated THREE TIMES in half an hour… Idea : just ask ‘do you have a lawyer?'
- A perfect illustration of the differences between jurisdictions. Why do we care whether his lawyer believes him? And why is a lawyer distracting herself with belief rather than evidence? Isn’t a lawyer’s job to gather, analyse, advise, present & test the evidence, not to believe?"I met with Harvey, I spoke with Harvey and from day one I didn't believe he was a rapist." Weinstein's lawyer Donna Rotunno tells ITV News in her first UK broadcast interview that her client is not guilty of the crimes he is accused of. Read more: itv.com/news/2020-01-0…
00:00 - Replying to @QcWynterHaving read everyone else’s suggestions and contemplated for literally seconds I reckon the end of a coat hanger (squished up a bit to fit thru neck) up the side, then rotate & draw it out, piercing/hooking the sponge as you pull the hook back out. I even drew it for you(badly).
- 3 drunk men on way back from the races sexually harassing a woman on the train. Only me and one other woman stood up for her and called it out (an older man later came and had a “quiet word” with them and left. It didn’t work). Solidarity sisters! Not standing for that. Reported.
- I’m only going to say 3 things about today’s news on here, because as you know, we don’t talk about judge club : 1 Thanks to everyone who sent congrats - sorry if I didn’t manage to reply. 2 I hate competency based interviews too. 3 I applied 3 times, bombed twice. Don’t give up.
- Replying to @GoodLawProject and @RubyJLLSeriously? You’ll be seeking repeal of CA1989 & dissolution of the Fam Ct then? Whether you agree w/ the decision in the Bell case or not, there has to be some legal framework for the protection of the vulnerable: & judicial sanction is a *safeguard* for parents & children alike.
- I’m *supposed* to be cleaning my house today in preparation for house guest. However, I have been a *tiny* bit distracted! Hey ho…
- Psssttt...hey excited newbie lawyers! I’m really excited for u & you’ll be great 👏🏻but...I’ve seen a few tweets lately saying “yay its my 1st hearing/xx/trial/ long trial...” what happens if your client sees that? A: awkward Qs & it might undermine yr confidence & theirs? 😬🤫💜
- It must be real: There seems to be a hashtag… #silksday2023 When you see the pics tomorrow, remember, this is who I feel like inside (school photo c 1988/9).
- can someone write some guidance on how to cope with all the guidance please?
- Lots & lots of you have sent lovely messages of congratulations on taking silk. I hope it is ok to say a single big THANK YOU & send a big cheesy grin back atcha. Right, as you were everyone. Normal life resumes. p.s. place your order for crocheted braces for silk day 2024 now!
- ‘We are not public servants’ and ‘policing by consent is not a duty’ – the disturbing and telling views of a police officer davidallengreen.com/2021/03/we-are…
