@kriekstina And let those who can do something about it know. Because we all know how difficult this job is, and how we can’t control everything and also how those more junior don’t have the ability to change things.

Chambers would like to welcome Alice Hewitt and Nicole Shaw who have each started their First Six Pupillages with us this week. Edward Franklin and Paul Casey are their Pupil Supervisors and we wish them both the best of luck.

@itsbenknight Client, IQ lowest I’d ever seen, intermediary refused as they assessed his issues as “too complex” acquitted of sex offences. Sent me a Christmas card to chambers for years afterwards. So sweet.

It is with deep shock and sadness that we must announce the loss of our dear friend, colleague and former Head of Chambers Peter Clement. It is intended that a memorial service will take place later in the year.

@MAMBarLife Use a todo app. Loads available - mine probably not the best but the one I’m used to. Create a list per case. Add in deadlines as made with due date. App sends an email each day saying what due. List available to see at all times. Only way I’ve survived the last 5 years.

"You're going to know failure if you're brave with your life". @BreneBrown

If today was not your day for #pupillage, be proud that you dared greatly and that you did not shy away from the challenge.

Remember, this was a hard year with fewer opportunities.
