Law According To Kings... My Story From Student To Soon-To-Be Solicitor

What I think drove me to the law is the idea that I can help people. I grew up watching people on TV be scared and alone, and then a lawyer would turn up and fight for them. I wanted to be that lawyer - I wanted to help people. It sounds dumb, but honestly the idea of becoming a lawyer first came into my head when I watched Ally McBeal . Seeing someone be funny and honest and flawed while being able to put on that suit, head into the courtroom, and kick some ass. I told the partner that at my first vacation scheme interview for a corporate law firm, and he laughed and said that maybe there will be less dancing in the toilets in their office than there is in Ally McBeal. I smiled back, and replied there would be less dancing until I arrived.  The law can be an immensely powerful thing - of course, I'm biased.

Heir To The Town Square... Social Media And Freedom Of Speech

Social media is hard to categorise into being merely a public service or a private institution. It's immense strength and popularity rival that of the largest governments, and it is increasingly used by those governments as a platform for carrying out the country's business, particularly in the age of Trump and Twitter.

All Barr The President... The Attorney General's Relationship With The Commander-In-Chief

"You've chosen to be the president's lawyer," declared Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono to Bill Barr in the Senate Judiciary Committee when the Attorney General testified on his handling of the Mueller Report. Since his appointment in 2019 after the firing of Jeff Sessions, Barr has led the US Department of Justice and acted as the nation's top law enforcement official for his second time, after a two-year tenure under George H W Bush. His expansive view of executive powers and his apparent partisan actions have drawn a great deal of criticism, particularly in his last congressional hearing two days ago on the current unrest across the US following the murder of George Floyd earlier in the year. Barr's direction to federal officers to use chemical weapons, including tear gas and pepper bombs, and violent tactics against protestors, most infamously to move demonstrators away from Lafayette Park to allow for the President's photo op, drew particular ire from Rep....
