We have now launched our 2021-22 Debate Day programme. Open to all year 12 & 13 students in England & Wales, years 12-14 in Northern Ireland and S5 & S6 in Scotland. Applications close 11 October - visit supremecourt.uk/debate-days.ht… to apply.
Judges need to stop shouting at counsel. We don’t go to work to be shouted at. No one should. What’s even more frustrating is when you notice judges who are keen to shout at young females but not older males. It’s workplace bullying.
Big shout out to any fellow non-double-jabbed key workers spending the day in an unventilated public building with hundreds of members of the public in 30 degree heat. Happy Freedom Day!
Do we still want a more diverse Bar because I’m so confused by what I’m seeing on the TL. For many from underrepresented groups, the Bar course year is the first time you have access to vital career advice, pro bono work, etc. We can’t get pupillage without these resources.
A remote career talk for anyone interested in the law but don't think people like them become lawyers.
Waking this one up first thing this morning for the farrier ... 🙈🙈

Are a law student at University or a recent graduate looking for a career at the Bar? Then we would be delighted to meet you - virtually. We are holding a virtual mini-pupillage event - sign up here. #law #lawstudent #Barristers cornwallstreet.co.uk/virtual-mini-p…
Anyone else’s pups constantly bringing them gifts? This week I’ve received odd socks, a hot water bottle from underneath the bed, a whole kitchen roll, countless tennis balls ...
Interested in law and justice and careers advice? New video explaining all about my YouTube channel, which is packed with legal, justice and careers advice clips in bite size chunks. youtu.be/HkIcSdedJfk via @YouTube
Huge thanks to @Brummybar and @cehashley for putting on a brilliant advocacy session last night! So lovely to see people albeit via Zoom - even the dogs got in on it! Super grateful for everyone out there who are putting on zoom workshops for pupils and students! It really helps!
We're not quite sure how this happened and can't quite believe it...but we have hit 4000 views of our lockdown birthday video!! FOUR. THOUSAND. 4018 to be precise. And only 3900 of those were our mums!! We hope it continues to bring a smile to your face 😍 youtube.com/watch?v=cDVE_v…
The @middletemple EDSM sub-committee is seeking suggestions on social mobility and a suggestions box has been created for members of the Inn to share their views anonymously. All suggestions are welcome! More information➡️middletemple.org.uk/news/social-mo… @MTStudents @MTHallCommittee
Due to popular demand, we have added 7 extra sessions to our Online Pupil #Advocacy Training. There are currently 15 places still available - check out our website: icca.ac.uk/events/ In spite of everything, #Bar & #Judiciary show true collegiality. #ForFutureBarristers
Ok legal tweeps. Let’s give hope to the students out there trying to get pupillage or training contracts... disaster our pupillage interview stories ABOUT TOU, not “Friends”...
Thank you to the 40-odd second six pupils who attended both our seminars over 2 days!! We covered: taking instructions, giving advice, navigating your way around the court & much more! Special thanks to Jaime Hamilton QC and Chloe Ashley @cehashley @jaimerh354 @Beheshteh_E
We are eager to support pupils who are unable to go to court during court closures. To help pupils keep up their case analysis and advocacy skills, we have created a suite of practice materials available on our website bit.ly/3beNVAE #ForFutureBarristers
HUGE thanks to @cehashley @jaimerh354 and @Beheshteh_E for their Zoom workshop tonight providing pupils with lots of helpful info and advice for surviving second six! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
