Comments on: Finally!!

And you're right had it been a complex or even moderate case I would have declined but, frankly, with a copy of De Smith and a minty fresh copy of the White Book I can hack it. As you say: you have to pick up experience somewhere. It'd have been best if I could have towed along in the slipstream of a barrister doing JRs, e.g. pupilmaster, but all they ever did was IP. My client loves me devotedly. But I love their bank account devotedly: we try to see each other as often as possible. No, it’s the same for barristers.

That's what they've been telling us trainee solicitors over and over again on the LPC and PSC. Maybe it's different for barristers. Lucky you to have a very patient and wealthy client to pay for your training. This might be controversial but maybe you shouldn’t take the instruction if you don’t know anything about JRs.
