Former Met police officer and now family barrister at @29BedfordRow. All views my own.

5 years ago I was a state educated 32 year old cop, with a 14 year old 2.2 degree. 5 years later I’m a #barrister and my name just went up on the wall at tier 1 chambers @29BedfordRow. DO NOT tell yourself you can’t achieve your dreams. Put the work in. You can do this.

Nothing worse than bad #CustomerService. @PeugeotUK do better!

[Supa @supadizzle18]

A warning for anyone thinking of buying an #electric @PeugeotUK car. We have a new E-3008 leased 6 months ago. The 12v battery has been playing up for six weeks. Now it has died completely, can’t even be jumpstarted. Fair enough, but they will fix as it’s under warranty? NOPE…

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

@elonmusk @EdwardJDavey Perhaps focus on your own country that ignores kids getting killed in schools via endless shooting massacres? Or the fact 1 in 5 girls (and 1 in 20 boys) is the victim of CSA in the US? How about the fact 1.6% of all children 12-17 were victims of rape?

Just to be clear, I did NOT go missing😂 #Gavinandstacey

At an airport in Europe getting my first experience of the post-Brexit treatment. It is NOT good. At least we get to *insert thing that probably wasn’t a problem and hasn’t happened anyway* 👍🏻 #Brexit

And actually finally this time, if anyone has any questions or needs advice, get in touch. We all need help on the way up and most barristers would, I hope, remember that we were all in this position once. Good luck!!!!👊🏻 #pupillage #barrister

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

A few pupillage application tips:

DO NOT do generic applications. Woo the set with things specific to them, interesting cases etc, and then link to your experience. Make each chambers feel like they are your number one choice and that it fits your specific skill set #pupillage

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

Finally, it’s a trying and often thankless process. But try not to stress. Easier said than done, but it’s a long road from now until May and you still have a life to live! Do your best, don’t leave anything on the field, and then let the cards fall where they may! #pupillage

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

Get your names in! Pupillage applications are just around the corner and this could be the thing that puts you over the edge! #InItToWinIt #pupillage #advocacy #barrister

Today I prosecuted an application to dismiss, covering someone else’s case. That is an application made on behalf a defendant, where the defence say there is not sufficient evidence for a jury to convict. /1

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

Inspired by this, I am announcing I am ruling myself out of next year’s Wimbledon. Also, I withdraw my name from the hat for any upcoming space expeditions, and do not wish to be considered for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize #pritipatel https://t.co/4Xnhj2Vx55

#RoeVsWade 😔

[Dan Jeffrey @DanMJeffrey]

Shocking to read. Even more so considering there are many that still refuse to engage with the idea of gun control. Heartbreaking stuff.
