@AllanCompton7 @s_charlene @acatfromgreece @DavidMuttering To sour the mood just a tad more, the Chancellor pencilled-in an additional £500m cut to the Justice Department today.
🚨 The court system is broken A Magistrates’ Court trial has just been fixed in January 2025. Deemed ‘not a priority’ (to the system, not the people involved) Trial was supposed to be yesterday, pulled for lack of court time. This was Manchester Magistrates. @TheCriminalBar

I always find myself going back to bad character apps, hearsay apps, half time submissions etc too that other people have created/I made notes of in first six. Always adapt to your style and the issues in the case but it’s 1) time saving and 2) helps you improve your own

Martin Lewis is right.
Being a cheerleader for the death penalty whilst the potential for miscarriages of justice currently dominates the national debate is a particularly unthinking position to adopt.

The principle of non-refoulement is at the heart of more than just the Refugee Convention. It is perhaps one of the simplest principles in international law. All it means is that you don't send people to a country where their lives are at risk. 1/
What a turn out for our first Open House event! Speeches from HHJ Gilbart, @jaimerh354 and @WeAreAdvocate. We are thrilled to be speaking to so many bright and excited prospective pupils. To learn more about us be sure to read our #pupillage prospectus on our website.
Congratulations to HHJ Nicholas Clarke KC at his swearing in ceremony together with Senior Clerk @chrisswann17. Whilst he will be sorely missed in Chambers, we all wish him the very best as he embarks on judicial duties full time at Bolton Crown Court.

A victim that is unable to recall the event may seem to the public like an unreliable witness but their lack of memory may, in fact, be more consistent with having experienced trauma than someone who has a clear recollection. Listen from this Thursday 9 May to…

10/10, no notes. You will not see a better example of the pathetic cosplay revolutionary genre than this.
Kid 2 proposes that the mark of a good barrister should be the size of their wig, and that each time they win a case, a further layer of (horse) hair is added. Maybe handed down by the Judge at the end of the case. I’m on board.
@Conservatives The regulations were created in 2013... by HM Treasury. Guess which party was in government then? YOU. YOU allowed this.
DUTY SGT: 📞 hello SOLICITOR: I’ve had Liam on, he’s seen the ‘wanted’ campaign DUTY SGT: yes SOLICITOR: he says you deliberately used the mugshot of him where he looks terrible DUTY SGT: we did do that yes SOLICITOR: he’s on his way to the nick if you promise to take it off
2022: Conservative party 'plan' is for patients to see a GP within 2 weeks 2005: Couple complain about the Labour party delivering a service where patients could see a GP within 24 hours (they wanted to book an appointment after the the 24 hour window, not in it)
All three finalists of the 1% club on ITV decide to take £3,333 rather than gamble to win £98,000. We are finished as a country. Where did our bollocks go. Why does nobody want to take a gamble any more.
One of the big failures of the current commentariat is they don’t understand social media. The ad is a play on a very popular and established meme. It’s actually one of the better ads labour has done recently.
Her: Please tell me this is a spoof and that the Labour Party wouldn’t actually put out an advert this sexist? Him: Nope, it’s real.
our vocation doesn’t just call on us to serve our clients, or the lofty institutions of justice. most of us, i believe, sincerely feel a call to make our community stronger & better through personal effort. or maybe i’m just being sentimental because it’s friday. 😅
what seems clear is we often approach our role within the profession not just as having a job to do, but as being an integral, evolving, contributing component of a community.
Just come across Liz Truss saying “I hadn’t gone into politics to deal with floods or fix prisons.” Why not? Wouldn’t politics be much better if she felt her job was to fix such things? This is a fundamental problem with our system @RestIsPolitics unherd.com/2024/04/why-li…
Telling the judge why you need just 5 minutes more with your client before you can start the hearing
“They talked about ferrets so much that I was not even able to speak” Another Truss classic.
My sister is visiting on Tuesday and she's just messaged asking if she needs to bring tea bags 'because from memory you don't drink it'. This stopped being true two decades ago, adding fuel to my theory that you just get fixed in your family's head at a particular life point
Was chatting to an old school member of circuit today. He was telling me about two former pupils who weren’t taken on when he was a pupil too. One is now a KC the other a VERY senior member of the judiciary. Some motivation for those who are feeling rejected right now I hope❤️
Joe makes a good point. More than ever now, I see journalists not bothering to check things, not having the skills required to check things or knowingly disseminating untruths as that’s what their owners want. Our democracy is as a result dying of ignorance.
Also, 🔥Liz Truss’s autobiography extracts have just dropped … and it’s clear it’s going to be an absolute banger dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… In this tiny extract the Queen dies - and Truss is moved to ask “Why me?”
the girls on vinted are genuinely insane
This is why what should be the core Tory vote of the future has disappeared. Nobody under 45 is voting for them. This is what the Conservatives call ‘aspiration’ presumably. Crazy numbers…!
@charlottor I will always respect this level of pettiness
