Almost certainly a spoof. Spotted via CharonQC and Liadnan.
Eversheds HR people, one assumes together with their advertising agency, seem to have come up with a cunning, and one can only assume coke fueled, campaign to aggressively not recruit anyone.
If you are one of the following types of lawyer you too can have an exciting career […]

In the aftermath of the knob-head Bruce Hymen matter it was a little hard for us to maintain the presentation that the Bar was a litigation priesthood of unimpeachable morals. Visible public humiliation of professionals - the modern fashion for transparency, aka Tabloid Food - was inevitable.
Nonetheless, the implementation seems a bid odd. Minor stuff […]

One thing all we lawyers need - be we solicitors or the senior end of the profession - are punters. It always strikes Geeklawyer, and he has said so before, as a bit weird that so many lawyers find this repellent. LegalWeek has an interesting article in which lawyers explain that acting as a salesman […]

Over at at the TaxProf Blog the sorry tale is told of an attorney who billed his client $5,737.50 for drafting and filing two briefs in a bankruptcy matter: billed as 25.5 hours it seems. So far so ordinary, and indeed even reasonable.
The trouble was that the attorney in question produced such a detailed […]

What on earth is going on out there? Is the Bar comprised entirely of loonies? First Mr Dunn beating the crap out of a wedding guest, lawfully it seems since he was - oddly - acquitted; and now it seems that media types turned barrister are also going mad. This Mr Hyman character appears […]

The Bar is often regarded, as Geeklawyer has observed before, by the public as a public school playground. Smug, self satisfied and aloof. Fortunately only the proles think that, so it hardly matters. But if it were a bad thing our Northern colleagues are doing their bit to etch away this image of the Bar.
And […]

In space no-one can hear you scream.
Neither can they in the fucking blawgosphere. Yes, Geeklawyer is not a happy bunny. What the buggery fucking bollocks do we barristers pay the cunting idiots at the Bar Council for? Why will they not advert effectively on our behalf as we, on the front-line, duck under the hail […]
Tip of the hat to Liadnan for alerting Geeklawyer to this valiant attempt by Mr Justice Peter Smith to wrestle the award of “Looniest Judge Ever” away from its current holder, Philippino Judge floro.
Smith J got wrapped up in a court case where he was confronted by a firm of solicitors, Addleshaw Goddard, to whom […]
Ruthie is the first with the news that she gets her fondest wish. Having bitched about how silly wearing 400 year old horse hair is she rejoices that the Lord Chief Justice has announced that in criminal trials non-lawyers can wear wigs. Oh, Sorry, Geeklawyer meant to say that solicitor-inadequates can now dress in the […]
Regular readers will know that Ruthie has something of a bee in her bonnet when it comes to issues of access to the legal profession. So imagine her fury when lounging in bed listening to Radio 4 this morning she heard some solicitor (Sarah Harman, never heard of her, no idea who she is) opine […]
