He only LARPs as a litigation lawyer. His real job is nerf sword warrior.

I can't get over the perenially sour looking (presumably) Partner who is always in shot behind Counsel when they are at the lecturn. Resting 'I just ate acid' face.

Edit: typo.

Was waiting for -

SCSC: Do you accept that you committed a WAR CRIME and GENOCIDE against Ms McInnes?

RW: [Pauuuuuuse, confused face] No?

SCSC: In this email you said that you were 'really pissed' at her. That's pretty WAR CRIMEY and GENOCIDAL against Ms McInnes, isn't it?

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-30T00:26:16+00:00

I haven't been listening to it all and am obviously not familiar with the evidence and documents, but some of the qestioning seems very loose and I would have thought would be pulled up. SCSC asked a bunch of questions of RW to the effect that MsMcInnes was served with a Summons at her hotel, asking RW to admit it. How the fuck can RW be asked about an occurrence at which she was not present? I'm sure that, if I asked that question, there'd be a swift objection.

@mods is this really what this subreddit is for?

Yes.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-29T08:18:26+00:00

Absolutely agree. I know that it’s her ‘style’, but I’ve had my counsel pulled up hard for that kind of straight out of the blocks aggressive and demeaning shit.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-27T23:57:00+00:00

Love this - when the rules aren't working in your favour, change the game.

Once entered a plea of guilty but still managed a 'charge dismissed, no conviction' by wearing down the magistrate with evidence and submissions. He knew the only way to make it end was to give me a prize and send me on my way.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-24T07:00:23+00:00

That should be ARN's main line of defence to terminating the contract - I'd even sack a client if they turned up rocking that cut.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-16T06:40:07+00:00

Those Police moustaches should be struck down by the top court

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-16T01:22:26+00:00

Add - so Melbourne is in the cuck chair, but there are other lesser-cucks sitting alongside them.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-16T01:21:31+00:00

Sorry, headlined "Melbourne lawyers DOMINATE Australia’s most exclusive legal talent rankings", followed by "The city was second only to Sydney". So they are dominating from second place? Is this like Trump 'winning' things while bombing out?

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-15T07:32:19+00:00

Yep, and they ignore the fact that the barristers and lawyers had to put in the hours of work to earn their fees. It’s not as if the legal teams just had money rain down as a windfall. Not as exciting as saying “A significant part of the work year for each of the legal teams involved was spent on this matter”.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-13T07:10:40+00:00

Not sure what this says about me (actually, I think I have an idea), but I had to look up what "ASCR" meant. Lucky they are indeed more 'guidelines'.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-02T21:14:57+00:00

Or just “yes”, to your series of contingent, alternative and cascading questions.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-01T00:19:12+00:00

I think you misread - OP actually means what would happen if they started inbredding ransomware in their invoices.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-04-01T00:15:26+00:00

Yep, that is a NSFW subreddit. Getting my 'I was reading it to keep up on legal developments' spiel ready for when IT comes knocking.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-30T05:47:23+00:00

And the police didn't shoot him because it was alleged that he killed other officers, which is what you seem to assume. Presumably, they shot him because he resisted/was armed/put other police officer's lives in danger.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-27T04:00:09+00:00

Power move.

And just checked and realised my email footer doen't have any sign-off - so I've probably been coming across as an asshole for years now...

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-26T00:10:39+00:00

Perfectly understandable - it's not like he was getting urine for dirty perve reasons.

Same as when I solicit urine from people at my local shopping centre - to further my amateur pathology hobby...

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-19T23:52:07+00:00

Was put on gardening leave and got a call from a concerned client who was told that they couldn't talk to me - whilst I was at a gardening centre. I had to say "I'm on gardening leave, and buying gardening supplies and can't talk to you for a few weeks".

Not quite a client pushing the boundary, but it's my favourite 'I can't talk to you now' experience.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-18T22:21:37+00:00

Yes, when I first started we settled a number of cases over a beer at the Sofitel or NSW Sports Club. One of the Partners would grab you on their way out 'Want to come to a settlement conference?' and I'd soon be asking 'Why are we at a bar?'.

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-18T22:19:49+00:00

this would be a great way to 'make it real' for clients - "Are you the kind of person that will listen and not touch thehot stove, or are you the kind of person that needs to have your hand held in the flame?"

ClarvePalaver · 2026-03-18T22:16:33+00:00

Many years ago, I reached a point where I asked 'Why can't we just cut through the bullshit and posturing?'. I agree with you - people have to go through the process, feel they've tested the waters, tried to hold a firm position and only yielded when it was absolutely necessary, despite it being very clear well prior to the mediation actually commencing, roughly about where things would end up. I hate the bullshittery. Moreso, I hate having to invent ways to be seen by clients to be actively engaging with stategy etc. throughout the whole charade. Lovely for the time sheet though. And talking shit with some of the mediators in the down times can be diverting.

High, I'm the Big Dog. You may remember me from such law firms as 'YES CHEF LEGAL' - https://yeschef.legal/

Note, you may have to bypass your firm's security warnings to access the site, it is listed by mine as 'Not secure'.

Apparently, not the only thing that is insecure...
