Pupil barrister Scribbler encounters a litigant-in-person in action for the first time, and he sounds like a classic of the genre, issuing against multiple defendants 'so they could come to court to explain themselves', regardless of whether they actually...
Hope over experience
Surprising being undeterred by the experience of the first podcast I did with him, Charon QC has demonstrated a generosity of spirit, if a lack of judgement, in doing another. We talk about training contract experience, smaller firms, and the sisyphean...
Thanks Ed
As Charon has picked up, Colin Samuels and Diane Levin, law bloggers and 'sherpas' to the ever so anonymous editor of Blawg Review have asked for recognition of the editor's achievement in building and sustaining the review. As someone who has been the...
Not the only housing blog in the village
Oh frabjious day. After many months ploughing a lonely furrow as the internet`s finest but only housing law blog, I am delighted to welcome another into the world. William Flack of Flack & co, who both comments on and features in posts hereabouts, has...
To end the year – a meme
Thanks to Lex Scholasticus at Reductio ad Absurdum, I have been tagged with another blog meme thing. In a surprising bout of pre-new year generosity, I will both respond and entirely fail to tag anyone else. I am called upon to list 8 things I want to happen...
Blawg Review Nominations
This year's Blawg Review awards are apparently to be awarded to one Blawg on the basis of nominations from solely those who have hosted or are shortly to host a Blawg Review. Having closely followed the instructions of the anonymous Ed of Blawg Review,...
amicitia reverto (sic)
So, Belle de Jure and Lawyer-2-be, although apparently tired of being respectively scandalously homophonic and hyphenated, are back. I somehow thought it was only a matter of time before one or both broke cover. Now conjoined, although thankfully not...
World famous round these parts
Nearly Legal has a comment piece in the Solicitors Journal. (No subscription needed for the next week). Fame, yes, fame at last. In an anonymous sort of way.
Oh what a tangled web…

Rumours of my demise…
... were entirely due to a technical hitch. Admittedly a walloping great big technical hitch which lasted 3 days and was only resolved by the site being moved a new server and the Domain Name Server records being updated. But as of 11.30 pm on Monday, the...
Legislation Search and RSS feeds
Thanks to Binary Law for the news that the OPSI Legislation search now comes with an RSS feed on searches for easy updates. Unfortunately, having spent an evening wrestling with it, I'd damned if I can get specific search feeds to display on this blog. The...
Simply the Best
I don't do memes. In fact I am something of a Darwinian nightmare environment for memes, they land in this blog and, right there and then, reproduction ends. This might suggest why I'm not doing family law. However, having been kindly been tagged by both...
