Summer in the magistrates’ court, obviously the hearing is on! I suppose this achieves cosmic balance on the occasions when the hearing is off during winter.

1/2 Twitter family law friends! Help needed!

I'm helping to organise @WiFLaw's third annual pupillage masterclass on 27th Feb. We set up two mock pupillage interviews: one which is children law-focussed, and the other is family finance-focussed.

@OliverConway In this household the purple ones have to be kept on a high, cat proof shelf! Hope you have been forgiven.

'I want you to understand though, that was my decision, not theirs. You should not blame them. They fought for you.'

A beautifully written and personal message from a judge to an adopted child. Well worth a few minutes of your time.

🧵 I'm delighted to be organising this event with @middletemple. Grief is such an important topic that impacts us all in some way yet, in practice, it is rarely addressed. I hope this event will help us to make progress in giving the subject the attention that it deserves. (1/3)

The personal highlight of my 2023. Looking forward to 2024. Happy Christmas!

@Leisha007 Either misogyny or she’s in witness protection?!

@BarbaraRich_law Michaelhouse cafe, or for a larger meal Browns opposite Fitzwilliam museum. The Old Bicycle Shop is also worth a look - very unique.
