I am doing a podcast on this astonishing issue with Jack of Kent over the weekend… should be interesting.

In the meantime, you may enjoy this wonderful stuff from Private Eye… Don’t tell him, Pike

Do these lawyers work for tobacco companies? If not, why not?

lawyers work for anyone who pays, much like the rest of the world. quite careless of silverleaf to have accepted instructions in a case where he may now be a witness. i guess the likelihood of finding oneself embarassed is in inverse proportion to the size of the fee. i myself am almost perpetually embarassed to be doing shite in the mags for £50 a pop.

the cab rank rule finds a glorious parallel in the black cab drivers wanting 20% extra for the olympics. counsel should do the same.
