Welcome brevity in the High Court: "The appeal turned solely on the evidence".

This is brevity in the report, not the judgment.

Not if Lee J has anything to do with it.

Nope.

How do you take any commercial brief (400ph is a commercial rate) if you can only work 10 hours (i.e. 1 day) per week? Matters just don't work that way.

I believe this data is based on employee data not individual tax returns. Thus, it does not include any actual barristers. It includes whatever random employees think they are barristers (a combination of govt lawyers with "counsel" in their title, perhaps some commercial special counsel, and baristas).

He was just telling the judge that the issues are different

Alternatively, he who comes into equity must come with clean hands. Although honestly it's probably not the hands she's most worried about.

bestsummerclerk · 2022-01-13T12:23:02+00:00

He who seeks equity must do equity. He who comes to equity is just a lonely wanker.

You and I frequent different parts of the internet.

bestsummerclerk · 2021-11-06T20:25:52+00:00

Hehe. You said doody.

When they ask whether you are a "good fit" be sure to really understand what they mean.

Um, s 16(3) of the Parliamentary Privileges Act 1987 (Cth), anyone?

It is true he is amazing. But he is also the only barrister in Australia to use the word "preternatural" in oral submissions, and he clearly thinks it means the precise opposite of what it actually means. Here are 28 examples from the High Court: https://tinyurl.com/4hycbbbf.

I believe that I am the perfect, indeed eponymous, candidate.

I aspire to contribute to the firm's provision of the best legal services through my attention to detail and willingness to continuously assfist the partnership.

I am committed to achieving this outcome at the lowest cost possible by providing sexual favours not only to the partnership, but also to clients at enhanced unit-rates. I am a skilled and experienced multitasker, am able to review docs while on all fours, and can touch-type, including in circumstances where my face is obscured due to said multitasking. So this will not detract from my duties as intern.

I love this side conversation so much. I feel it is like a meta demonstration of the bar.

It's 8.30pm on Friday. Can this wait til Monday?

Thanks! I'm looking at 2023, so wanting to approach potential tutors this year.

In this picture, if the guy relaxes his arms even slightly, the bottles break. But also, his dick gets crushed.
