‘contactless please’ *presses phone against reader*

Those windows have long been a fixture of the Dublin coffee scene 😉😉😉

Ok I’m not cut out for Supreme Court work.

CPR6.21(1) The party shall serve documents they have prepared unless they don’t. CPR6.21(2) The court shall serve documents it has prepared unless it doesn’t. £900, please.

See if you can spot the interesting quirk at Talk TV’s British pub.

Just out to grab a bottle of drink of magnesia.

Just derived an ought from an is.

They should let the backs see the adverts during scrum time too.

Wild how inured you become to legal writing over the years.

Delighted to announce that I’ve taken up a new job. I am now Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds. Can’t wait to see where this role takes me.

Just sticking my first tabs into my White Book.

Always a pleasure to visit the Middlesex Guildhall.

Might become a thought leader

It’s crazy how your law degree lets you answer questions for people. Questions like ‘what is tort law anyway?’ and ‘Why is it called tort law?’

Eighty courtrooms not in use today. That ought to save a good amount of money 👍🏼

Is the small claims court in the room with us right now?

Normal books: p1 is ~2-3 pages into the book White Book: let’s have 436 pages before p1

Can’t believe they shoved admiralty proceedings into Volume 2 of the White Book. Should have been p1, Volume 1.

‘As has been made admirably clear by counsel…’

These violent delights have violent ends.

Some very clear dicta on the non-justiciability of unincorporated international law. administrativecourtblog.wordpress.com/2026/01/21/c...

It’s mad how many people don’t realise that you can just ban things. HLA Hart was very clear on this. Don’t like it? Ban it!

Simplify your legal language. Try these: For ‘malice aforethought’ try ‘malice that’s been thought about before’ For ‘tort law’ try ‘wrong law’ For ‘law of real property’ try ‘real law’ Much clearer. You’re welcome!

Strange but true: People born on 29th February don’t reach the age of criminal responsibility until they are 10.

Are there any planning laws which can stop me painting my house black, the roof white, and renaming it Lord Denning Lodge? Asking for a friend.

Law Commission, NOOOOOOO!

Disappointed that all the TV footage of Snaresbrook is showing the main building when we all know the annex looks nicer.

No, YOU’RE confined to your facts.

Are you Lord Denning? Because I need you to promise me you’ll estoppel that.

I’ll be honest, I’m finding the jurisprudence of the K-Pop Demon Hunters universe confusing.

The Royal Courts of Justice are closed today. Lawless London.

Please Westlaw, just leave my 26 tabs alone!

Just watching a video from my uni in which a barrister holds a conference with a client facing a class B possession charge. The conference is happening in what looks like Paper Buildings. Didn’t realise I’d spend so much of my magistrates practice in chambers!!

Robert Jenrick has been sacked.

1. If someone posts photos from a jurisdiction where it’s illegal, can their photos be undressed by Grok in another jurisdiction? 2. By posting images of yourself or family on X do you effectively consent to their being undressed by AI?

Q: What skills will does a good barrister possess? A: one of the many skills a good barrister ought to be in possession of for the many and varied activities they perform is clarity because that can help with when they are talking to people and need not to spend too much time doing it.

Why do you think you’ll make a good barrister for the tenth time?

This is land. Don’t ever let them tell you it’s not.

Delighted to receive my degree certificate today.

Q: where do you see your career at the bar in five years time? A: Head of Chambers, KC, and appearing exclusively before the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court.

Be careful out there, folks!

Is this the first time the FIFA Peace Prize winner has attacked another country within a month of receiving the prize?

The look from my family as I tell them about the law-themed Only Connect is one of those pictures worth a thousand words.

So LLMs have turned out to be a big problem. Should we all be doing BCLs now?

Genuinely think Snaresbrook might be our most beautiful court.

They just don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Wishing all our members a peaceful and joyful Christmas 🎄🎅🏻 🛷

Don’t fall foul of the law this Christmas. Remember that, legally speaking, unless it was made in Yorkshire you can’t call it Yorkshire pudding.
