If being around your family (whether male or female) is more important to you, then you shouldn't be a City lawyer. You can still be paid very well at other firms with more emphasis on the work/life balance, but it's a choice that every lawyer needs to make. • On Siobhain Butterworth's blog about online discussion and libel , Windian says, At the same time, there is a need to regulate abusive comments pervading online discussion threads. People think they can hide behind an Internet alias and do anything they please. That has to be reined in by law. • On John Scott's article about the Cadder judgment from the UK supreme court which ruled that detention without access to a lawyer in Scotland breached the right to a fair trial, nickboorer replies to viper217 by saying The court is not an English court. It is the UK supreme court and the minority jurisdictions in the UK are exceptionally well-represented on the bench. To complain that English judges are adjudicating issues of Scots law would be as ludicrous as impugning any English-law judgment handed down by Lords Hope and Rodger.
