What can I say about this game? Most definitely ‘No Comment’. (Thanks to Maryland Divorce Legal Crier for the link)

Intercontinental Mistakes

Oh how true…This post from the Maryland Divorce Legal Crier blog is no less relevant for being from across the pond. It paints an all too familiar picture of the cringeworthy correspondence files I often get sent with my briefs. It makes me want to weep! Its easy enough to get drawn into a pointless [...]

Mills McCartney Award Announced – and Judgment published in full

Well, we all knew there would be some kind of appeal – and apparently it is by way of Heather Mills McCartney appealing the decision to make the full judgment public, due to be heard tomorrow. In the meantime here is a link to the summary of the judgment published today. . In short, Heather [...]

Collaborative Law

This collaborative law initiative seems to be catching on, and I can certainly see why, if it does what it says on the tin.
