"Criminal solicitors are dropping like flies. They can’t afford to run their businesses any more. You used to have huge firms doing criminal work and that’s all gone. Legal aid has got a lot to answer for. They are just not paying people what they are worth"

The GBA is desperately saddened to hear of the passing of Ellen Cassidy, Sheriff Clerk.

One of the most helpful and cheerful people you could come across, she brightened up even the most difficult of days at Glasgow Sheriff Court. She will be missed by so many.

if i see another drama with a pencil thin,very intense, humourless female lawyer. why can’t we have some reasonably relaxed, size 12 plus folk, who can’t be bothered ironing silky shirts? we also do the law 😆

Word of the day is ‘bloviator’ (19th century): one who loves the sound of their own voice, who talks at length but ultimately says very little.

[Alexandra Wilson @EssexBarrister]

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.

As she recited her inaugural poem, Amanda Gorman described her background as a “skinny Black girl, descended from slaves and raised by a single mother,” who can dream of being president one day, “only to find herself reciting for one.” https://t.co/ZrpBfiCJHf

@ScotDignan @IP_Scotland @LauraTPaton Brilliant news! I'm sure I'm sure I'll soon enough what it is 😊

[JT @TeenyTaylor]

Also, can we correct this fallacy once and for all - neither the Yorkshire Ripper nor Jack the Ripper were 'killers of prostitutes'. They were killers of women. 'Prostitute' is not a sub-species of woman. A person's occupation is irrelevant to the fact that their life was taken.

So. Lads. I don’t want to worry you. But ... but I think Downing Street might be taking policy advice from my mum.

Just out of interest, how many women hold the sneaking suspicion that if they had been about 300 years ago they would have been accused of being a witch? Like if yes. @witchesofscotl1 #witchesofscotland #witchesoftwitter
