Some really interesting statistics from the excellent @classlegal.bsky.social financial remedy conference 2025.

I’m so proud of the bravery of my colleague @everobinson.bsky.social and the others who have spoken out about harassment at the bar - I really hope we will finally take steps to make this kind of behaviour end for good

With this sort of lavish expenditure on furniture it’s no wonder the justice system is going bust. (Con room at Plymouth Combined Court Centre.)

A remarkable judgment, in which the Lady Chief Justice finds that MI5 gave false evidence to three courts. I'm surprised this hasn't had more media attention - it seems quite serious to me. www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/u...

It is a sad sign of the current situation in the USA that standing up for the rule of law is considered ‘going scorched earth’ - lawyers should not have to choose between remaining employed and respecting the rule of law :/

Turns out the government’s strategy of ignoring expert advice and continuing the woeful underfunding of criminal justice is working just as well for them as it did the previous lot.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

A thing worth remembering is that all lawyers are a) acting on their client’s instructions and b) often don’t get to pick their clients.
