Geeklawyer fangirl hits the bigtime

Geeklawyer is feeling a wee bit bitter and twisted. First Geeklawyer got beaten to a Times writing gig by law blogger BabyBarista (who feigned surprise at this and expressed both justifiable admiration for Geeklawyer and pain at his being deprived of his rightful dues). Then Geeklawyer blog fangirl, Evil Lena gets a Comment is Free […]

Geeklawyer retraining

Geeklawyer has decided to retrain as a solicitor advocate. It is a bit depressing to make that admission given the amount of pisstaking he has done of Ruthie, and she will, no doubt, grind your author’s nose in it.
It was a hard decision prompted by yesterdays news of a 20% drop in pupillages. To Geeklawyer […]

Me? Binge drinker? WTF?!

Apparently Geeklawyer’s fondness for a drop of mead is not going unobserved. One of CharonQC’s visitors reached his site by Googling on the phrase “Geeklawyer binge-drinking” - one can understand why but frankly this is not normally helpful.
Or at least at any other time it would not have been. Mercifully, Ruthie is busily engaged in […]

Geeklawyer in the wastelands

Geeklawyer spent last weekend in Otley Yorkshire with Harry visiting a friend and occasional Geeklawyer commenter James. The Otley Folk Festival was the, thin, excuse for a mega drinking session. While many towns claim to have the highest number of pubs per head of population, Otley can back it up. We consumed our bodyweight in […]

Another most precious & rare thing

Some readers and quiescent cobloggers have assumed that there is a degree of antipathy towards Geeklawyer by his ex-blogger Ruthie. this is superficially a most reasonable belief since, as previously reported, he crushed her professional and love life by eviscerating MinorJunior for his private entertainment. And then he dumped her for humorous effect. So much […]

Off to Wolverhampton

Geeklawyer is off to Wolverhampton this weekend. He tires of the dreary suburban south. He longs for an exotic far away location with dusky maidens; the fragrance of palm trees lit by the glow of a radiant golden sunset; for the merry laughter of children playing freely; echoing halls of lavish art in marbled […]

Reverse ego searching

Geeklawyer doesn’t know who this Oliver Holden fellow is at WAC? but he is clearly dangerously mad. He describes Ruthie as sultry. sultry?! Yea, sultry like Doctor Ruth.
He adds insult to injury by sarcastically describing Geeklawyer as a “team player” - as it happens Geeklawyer is a great team player, just so long as the rest […]

The Careers Bus - Geeklawyer is now unemployed.

That is, he has accepted the offer of a tenancy and is now in private practice rather than being and employed barrister.
Oooh goody - now I can upset judges on a more regular basis - rather than just punters.

“Taking Liberties”

You’ve had the laws now go and see the film.
Geeklawyer went to see it with Evil Dave at the Curzon. If like Geeklawyer you are a bit of a civil liberties loony this won’t tell you much that you didn’t already know. Geeklawyer spent most of the film pointing at people on the screen and […]

Martin, anonymity and LegalScribbles

Read (rather late) at Binary Law: The author of conflictoflaws.net and the now moribund LegalScribbles blog has de-cloaked off the starboard bow. He is Martin George an academic from Birmingham. Anonymity is a pet topic of Geeklawyer.
