I know it's a long shot, but today I lost this broach somewhere between Inner Temple & the RCJ. If anyone might have seen it please can you let me know? It doesn't have monetary value but was my great grandmother's & means so much to me. I know it's likely gone but worth a try 😔

If you’re a junior soldier/officer you need to read this now.

Your regular reminder to go and do something awesome... go and give blood if you can. NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 will care for you every step of the way 😁

We look forward to welcoming our new pupils, Alexander Shanks, Sophie Clifford and Ross Ludlow, who join the Drystone family in October. #CriminalLaw #Pupillage #Opportunity drystone.com/drystone-chamb…

Kind of a depressing 48 hours for those of us who do some work around the edges of mental health in the military. We’ve had a dinosaur retired fast jet pilot spouting 1950s ideas about people with mental health injuries being “weak”. Over on fill your boots we’ve had some good

Good morning all. 6.25am and you can turn the internet off already cos Wightlink Ferries has won today.

Alex Breathe. Say nothing If still blank, ask for a moment to gather your thoughts. Breathe again Ask yourself 1. Who spoke last before blank? What did I/he/she say? Keep sentences short without subordinate clauses - less chance mind goes blank If really stuck ask for 5 mins

Got to love how Pinnacle Service Families have now switched off replies to their tweets. Its almost like they don't like hearing feedback 🤔

For those who haven’t done so yet, please can I give a very quick and unashamed plug for you to follow Wig And Pens and please tell your friends! Very many thanks!

Our 3 amazing #pupils are now on their feet having started their practising period of #pupillage on 2nd April. They have each been a shining star during their 1st Six! Now the fun really begins! Good luck & best wishes to Ross Ludlow, Sophie Clifford, Alex Shanks. #TeamDrystone

First Crown Court trial completed 🎉Very grateful to have had a lovely opponent and a positive experience, and to get the successful result was just the cherry on top

Your local friendly criminal barrister here to remind you that you can’t just go shoplifting.

Rishi Sunak * Waiting until 2026 for a trial date so the guilty can serve their sentence at home on tag? NO MERCY. * Letting people out of prison early due to chronic mismanagement of the prison estate? NO MERCY. * Trial delays so long that victims give up? NO MERCY.

Riddle me this, guy on a train with noise cancelling headphones... worn round his neck, sound turned up high so he's inflicting his music on everyone else. Why? Just why?

Some of our courts are setting trial dates in 2027. Prisons are the problem today. But there are more problems coming tomorrow. This isn’t a prison crisis. It’s a criminal justice crisis. Releasing a few thousand gives the government time. But it doesn’t give it answers.

There will be some wondering why experienced RASSO lawyers *complain* about burn out or overload or just leave. Then find out the entry level requirements have been lowered. Be careful for what you wish for. The CBA

This is a plea to my male colleagues The CBA : We get it. We see you. We are ready to listen. Would rather you listen to you alive than weep later. Nothing is more important than those minutes in a robing room when I ask you how you are.
