People always ask this question and never “do prosecutors ever feel overwhelmed with guilt knowing they’ve put innocent people away?” Or “do prosecutors ever worry they aren’t doing justice when they destroy someone’s life over crimes of addiction or poverty?”

Has anything been said about why the notice has been removed now?

We deplore the violent scenes and rioting that we have witnessed across the past week.

We have serious concerns about the safety and wellbeing of our members following names and addresses of a number of solicitors’ firms and advice agencies being shared on a list of targets for further protest and violence this week.

Our president, Nick Emmerson, has written to the prime minister, lord chancellor and home secretary today asking that the threats against the legal profession are treated with the utmost seriousness.

A direct assault on our legal profession is a direct assault on our democratic values and we are supporting our members who are being targeted.

It is paramount that justice is done for all those who have been involved in, or are victims of, the riots.

We want to see that the necessary support and resources are provided for both prosecution and defence lawyers, courts staff and judiciary in dealing with this emergency.

Chambers says it will not send pupils to Stratford Mags until recent issues are investigated and resolved. Significant moment.

If anyone has leads on in-house/law firm roles where remote work is a possibility, I'd appreciate it.

Do you teach anything to do with the common law?

Do you fancy a free book?

If the answers to both questions are yes, then make an inspection copy request for my new book which is designed to serve as background reading throughout the LLB / SQE

Are you what used to be known as a “lady barrister”? Have you ever been mistaken for “a member of staff”affable or otherwise, when in a professional setting? If so, you are in distinguished company

My understanding is that it was never used and is in its original crate, but have never seen it in person. It has been decommissioned.

With acknowledgement of the timing of this tweet...

I have recently inherited a Bren gun from the Battle of Singapore. I would like to donate this to a museum or charity that could make use of it.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Eternal Postgrad @downwbarskool]

Advocates really need to take a step back before using 'in-group, out-group' references.

You may think all legal professionals share the same point of view or background, but we don't and trying to appeal to it, is not a good look.

[Eternal Postgrad @downwbarskool]

I need to get a copy of the new Sweet and Maxwell Social Security Legislation 2022/23 Volume I: Non Means Tested Benefits for personal reasons.

Is there any org or person who needs a copy I could give mine to after I've done what I need to?

Don’t sit at someone’s funeral wishing you had picked up the phone to your ‘strong’ mate to check how he is. He won’t hear you then. It’s too late. Often it’s the strongest who carry the heaviest burden. #MakeTheCall

[Eternal Postgrad @downwbarskool]

@anothertiny I'm sorry and I hope there is a good resolution for you, whatever that may look like.
