16th July: News, reports, profession and blogs update Insite Law

Simon Myerson QC names, shames and acclaims
Simon Myerson in his excellent Pupilllage and How To Get It blog collates comments from BVC students about the pupillage interview process. He names those Chambers where students made adverse or negative comments in his survey  and gives full credit to Chambers where students had a rather more pleasant experience.
