Geeklawyer received the following tearful missive from a prospective entrant to the Bar.

I read the news today about Blackstones’ senior Clerk quitting today with absolute incredulity, not because of his circumstances (obviously) but because I learned in the same article that Blackstone were hiring out their rookies at £150 a day. For fucks sake, […]

Geeklawyer has a mixture of pity and contempt for his criminal brethren. Really, he disparage no-one: MysteryQC does the odd murder and no-one will doubt his considerable abilities. Ruthie does high-end crime too, shoplifting speeding etc.
The thing is, crime is really easy. Really. And never having done it Geeklawyer feels the need to baptise himself […]

Geeklawyer had been wondering what to buy his numerous mistresses for xmas. His American Heiress gets his portrait ,Rebecca gets a sample of his bodily fluids, and Ruthie? Since she’s been a pain in the ass she gets a cheap present.

Apparently the poor folk of Newport were so threatened by the fuax penis of an arty mannequin in a shop window that they complained to council jobsworths. These then whinged to Police and Community Support officers who in turn told the shop owners that they faced prosecution for causing “alarm harassment and distress” to passers […]

Oh dear. Yesterday I did something silly. Very very very silly indeed. Like on a scale of, say, instructing Geeklawyer on a criminal case, instructing VictorianMaiden on an intellectual property case or instructing Ruthie. Yes, as bad as that.
Geeklawyer pulled up to a petrol station on the Terrible and inexorable Wrath of God and filled […]

To lose one person’s details is unfortunate, but to lose 25 million database records looks like a carelessness. Or as Geeklawyer prefers to say, a fuck-up that only the civil service can execute flawlessly.
The entertaining thing listening to Alastair Darling is his bland reassurance that things will change in future. In effect he was saying […]

Geeklawyer was present at the birth of ORG, the UK EFF, a couple of years ago. To his joy she has reached the terrible two’s and is behaving disgracefully by kicking and screaming in public in all the wrong places: Parliament the Media and in public forums everywhere.
Jolly good job too. As it’s 2007 […]

Family Lore reports that Mr Justice Singer was just ordered to step down form a case for making a few poor jokes. In the matter of El Farargy v El Farargy and Others he made a couple of faintly amusing quips about using a “flying carpet” to avoid/evade costs and poor quality gelatinous evidence that […]

Geeklawyer was having a conversation with Ruthie today who had gone missing; it transpires that she was slinging lead accurately at targets. Which makes a change from her throwing leaded arguments at magistrates and missing, he’s seen her in action and knows this to be true
She shot a .303 and her boss […]

The miserable business of Stefan Kiszko has seen an end, of sorts. Ronald Castree has been convicted of the killing of 11 year old Lesley Molseed in 1975. The conviction, inevitably - after the passage of decades, was DNA based. Kiszko was, as it turns out, impotent and entirely incapable of ejecting the […]
