August and even this first week of September are a VERY quiet time in the legal world, it seems. I am suspicious that there are no fewer problems occurring in the real world. Indeed, with children making nuisances of themselves at home and down at the local shopping mall, rather than being tucked away safely at school, I would have thought we lawyers might be busier than normal.
Not so. The judges and barristers have migrated to warmer climes. I'm not so sure about the solicitors. I think they might all be in Skegness, Blackpool or somewhere similar.
Yet the world has not ended and, despite the efforts of the screws' union, normal folk are going about... normally. Lawyers are leeches and parasites, create work for themselves and are unnecessary? No, surely not!
It's been a good time for The Other Pupil and I, though. While we have on the whole been kicking around chambers an awful lot, we've also picked up all sorts of interesting scraps from other barristers both in chambers and out. I had my first contested non-molestation order in front of magistrates, for example, which was useful experience.
Pupils are recommended not to go away in August and I can see why. There are benefits to being here when others are not.

Hmmm, not sure about the intention behind your comment concerning the holiday destinations we solicitors choose! Just remember where your instructions come from... ;-)
It's tumbleweeds in the library, come back legal peeps and ask us some questions.
Hey Pupilblog, like your site. Any news yet about tenancy?
