Amidst the detritus of Mayors celebrating evictions for anti social behaviour and the dawn arrest of the PM's political liasion officer, I was struck by two things. One is that Ruth Turner, in common with most of the political class, doesn't know the meaning...
I've put a link for the code for the custom search engine on the Law Search page. Anyone is free to add the search box to their own pages, and the graphic if they want. The only conditions are that you do not claim authorship or ownership, and you do not...
Amidst the boredom, misery and frustration of handling new inquiries, one way of sustaining interest is identifying the theme of the day. There usually is a theme, frequently repeated. Generally, the theme is a single capitalised word, Desperation, for...
The kindly Family Lore has tagged me with the latest blogger's version of a chain letter, a meme tag. I vaguely recall seeing this one spreading amongst web designer blogs a couple of months ago and then it recently hit the law blogs like mutated bird flu. I...
