Sunday homework club

It’s not normal, is it? But every lawyer knows exactly what #sundayhomeworkclub is. And by god are we skilled at self-distraction tactics to avoid the inevitable.

This blog post. Case in point…

In fact, I’ve had a fair few weekends lately that have involved no Sunday Homework Club, indeed no homework at all. It gave me the DTs at first, but I’m rather liking it now. And it is beginning to dawn upon me that it doesn’t (always) have to be this way.

There will always be Sunday Homework Club for as long as there are trials and lawyers. But they really should not be the norm, even for us abby normal lawyers.

For those of you who are still trying to avoid getting down to it, I’ve just written a REALLY IMPORTANT BLOG POST* on The Transparency Project blog, that you MUST READ NOW*. Here :

NB this is a civil case, so even civil lawyers in need of distraction can deploy this….

You’re welcome. 🙂

Right, I’ve run out of excuses. Off to #sundayhomeworkclub solitary for me…
