Conscious I am late to this - but reading #DavidGreig's wonderful novella, #ColumabasBones, just outstanding. I dont really enjoy fiction, but every so often I make an exception. This is a remarkable book. www.churchtimes.co.uk/media/569346...

Nothing to see here, just a lawyer, "full of claret", arguing against his client then suddenly reverse ferreting in court after being told he was making the wrong argument ... #LegalHistory #Scotland

My heart shatters like waves on the quay, Leaving Stornoway, the ferry’s low plea. Each swell a lament, each ripple a shard, Lewis’s embrace slips from my guard. Through salt-streaked glass, the grey winds moan, A fractured love borne on tides unknown.

Some may know that I work with the big Christian Aid booksale in Edinburgh. To try to keep space for more books we want to get rid of some journals. So if you would like a large bundle of Innes Reviews - please get in touch.

1/8 This post exemplifies how X is pushing right wing historical revisionism. Like all effective propaganda, it blends cherry picked truths with untruths, to create false equivalence.

Once again: when it comes to legal reasoning, AI is bad and neither students nor instructors should use it. The whole point of law school is not to get the right answer (often, there isn't one) but how to look/find/construct one - and if you use an AI, you simply don't learn these skills at all.
