“I can’t believe it is 10 weeks since I joined MD as a trainee. I’ve learnt a lot about practice in just 70 days, more than I did in four years at Uni and on the LPC. It is exciting to know that in a few years I will be jostling with the best; competing for work with insurance companies, big corporates, merchant banks and governments. Each day brings fresh challenges at MD and I really appreciate the fact that the firm looks after our welfare by providing accommodation in a hip ‘japanese style’ capsule hotel most nights of the week - saves on the housework at home! Can’t write much this week…. have a closing meeting to go to with my supervisor - who I haven’t seen much recently, as he prefers to communicate by videophone. I gather that the firm are going to ensure that we get a Christmas stocking on Christmas Eve. Apparently, it is difficult to get time off at Christmas.”

So… the Trainee blog at Watson Farley Williams is still alive and well! Excellent. Long may it continue.
I have to say, having read some of the recent entries on the Watson Farley Williams Trainee Blog, that the trainees seem to be struggling for things to write about - but, hey… I know the feeling… and I am not indentured.
I am inspired to return to the theme of that trainee blog ( although Muttley Dastardly LLP has many other matters to reflect upon) by Nick Holmes’ (Binary Law) latest analysis on the theme.
I quote:
“More than two months on, Watson Farley & Williams continue to show no remorse, persisting in publishing their so-called Trainee Law Blog, whose failings I have previously summed up. We’re now on episode 23.”
Nick, who I have had the pleasure of lunching with at The Bollo, continues with this: which caught my eye…“The most detailed critique of this “Blog Fuckwittery” was from web consultant Suw Charman in her Strange Attractor blog on Corante, who saw it as “something truly atrocious” and filed her post under the afore-mentioned category in some august company”
I got a dishonourable mention in dispatches with “Charon QC also questioned its blog credentials, seeing it nevertheless as a reasonable idea but “pregnant with the control apparatus”, and launching, in response, his own Muttley Dastardly LLP - a blog for the modern era“
I can’t quote anymore for fear of nicking Nick’s excellent post… go and read it.
