If you know a wannabe barrister, tell them about this. FRU work is excellent work experience, the perfect way to develop skills of case analysis, case preparation, and advocacy.

Have you considered becoming some kind of sports official? I've found the Saturday morning terror of possibly ruining* 22 people's afternoon by not turning up a really good way of encouraging getting up on the weekends.

How the mystery of Winston Churchill's dead platypus was finally solved The platypus was a top secret gift from Australia, found dead in his enclosure as war raged in the seas around him.

With animals named after Churchill, phantom "depth charges", and the phrase ""all-night orgies of love", fuelled by "copious quantities of crayfish and worms".", this must have been written by @garybrannan.bsky.social even though I know it wasn't.

I think it is hard to underestimate how important this website is for the Rule of Law in the UK. Before 2010, if you wanted to find out what statutes were actually in force you essentially needed a subscription to a very expensive commercial product like Halsbury's Statutes.

According to those with access to tracking data, Filer's fourth over was indeed the fastest recorded in women's cricket.

Overall, her four overs today ranked, 7th, 4th, 12th and 1st on the list.

Also, inter alia, why would only lawyers use certain phrases?

So you must go back to the original position: stare decisis.

DLS is (now) a proprietary, ICC, owned formula. DL on the other hand remains open source and actually relatively straightforward. Provided you're ok with ratios and some addition and subtraction.
