Incredibly proud to say I have been called to the Bar of England and Wales by @TheInnerTemple. The years of hard work and dedication have paid off. Grateful to all those who have supported me along the way.

I am in complete disbelief but immensely proud to say I have accepted pupillage with my dream chambers. If this year was not your year, sending all my support - I know the crushing feeling from last year. My DMs are open if you want to talk to someone.

Twitter community: does anyone know someone studying law who would like this caselaw revision notebook? I bought it during my GDL and didn’t use it and now have no use for it. I’m happy to send it to someone who would!

“Removing unnecessary burdens from police time like mental health call-outs” 🥴🥴🥴
I could watch @JayneSeckerSky cross-examine Suella Braverman all day: ‘We’ve recruited 20,000…’ ‘You’ve recruited 3,000 additional police officers. You *lost* 20,000’. … ‘You’ve got 149,000 police officers at the moment. There were 146,000 in 2010.’

An eye-opening read, highlighting just how far the Bar has to come to properly acknowledge extenuating circumstances. It is insufficient to merely have a box, if the contents make little to no difference to their application.

It’s taken some time, but the news may finally have sunk in. I finished my Civil Litigation exam 80% sure I’d failed. Yesterday, I opened my results to confirm not only had I passed, I was one mark off an outstanding. I am so unbelievably relieved not to have to sit it again💪🏻🎉

Over the last few days I have seen the question raised regarding legal Twitter and it’s respective benefits and drawbacks for both individual practitioners and the profession as a whole. At the risk of sounding insufferably millennial, legal Twitter is personally

my favourite place for recent caselaw updates, recommendations of podcasts, books, events, groups and other helpful media and informal legal commentary. However, above all else I adore the community it creates. I have only created this account a matter of months ago, and yet

Well, this year is not to be my year. Time to feel the feels, pick myself up and create a strategy for this next year. Onwards and upwards! #pupillage2023 #pupillage

Civil Litigation paper one officially marks the start of the end for me. One paper today and one paper Friday and that is officially the end of my education (for now). My goodness - I cannot wait.

Last night I had a dream that I had missed the start of the drafting exam and joined it an hour late without any materials and I was worried how I was going to pass the exam. Safe to say the stress of exam season might be getting to me a little 🥲

And there it is - the first pupillage application rejection. I know I should feel disappointed but after speaking to a number of junior barristers, most of whom had many rejections before their offer, it almost feels like a right of passage. Onwards and upwards💪🏻

If this law thing doesn’t work out, I might dedicate my life to having awful greetings cards taken off the shelf because what in the world are these
