It is with sadness that we learnt today of the death of our colleague, Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony. Lord Clarke was a Justice of the UKSC from its opening in 2009 until 2017. He was an excellent colleague & the kindest of men. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
Good luck to all having a pupillage interview today no matter where you are in the country. Just remember the panel will want you to be the best you can be. They have all sat in your position years ago, just imagine you will be on the other side of the table in a few years time.

The increasing capabilities of AI technologies are creating significant challenges for #FamilyLaw practitioners, amid growing global concern about their misuse, particularly in the generation of harmful deepfake pornography and non-consensual sexual content.
Setting out the rapid advancement of AI and the rise in online violence against women and girls, Baljinder Bath (4PB) and Sophie Mitchell (St Pauls Chambers) call for family lawyers to work collaboratively and proactively with colleagues across other practice areas to support victims of technology-facilitated sexual violence, and explore how these risks can be mitigated in their article for LexisNexis Family Law Journal.
