I should clarify DRKC isn't asking this question, I'm saying this to people who do ask it.

This might be a too earnest response, but until recently I both defended and prosecuted criminal cases. In terms of stress at work, prosecuting and/defending people I thought were innocent was much worse than defending someone I *thought* was guilty.

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.

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. #ENGvIND
