The Bundle: litigious students and lawyers on Twitter

In solidarity with any new law students, this week at Guardian law we've learned that it's not just law students who are learning how to sue and we've been watching clips on YouTube of Orson Welles playing Clarence Darrow to see why he inspired Marcel Berlins to become a lawyer. We've also enjoyed reading your tweets and comments; so much so, we've created a 'What you're saying' section on the site to showcase the most interesting comment of the day. Add your thoughts on what you've read or would like to read under each article and follow us on Twitter .

Law firms are in the B2C market, be that private or commercial client. So would it not be better for lawyers to connect to consumers rather than law firms? Or does the world have an overwhelming desire to read a law firms press releases and latest 'this and that' legal language information sheets? I suspect not. • On Afua Hirsch's blogpost about litigious students , vastariner says Then you've got the case Buckingham & anor v Rycotewood, in which students on a classic car restoration course successfully sued on the grounds that the teachers did not know what they were doing and for losing out on "the university experience". One student got an extra £4,750 - as part of the course the class dismantled his car and, owing to the poverty of the teaching, could not put it back together again... • On the interview with Lady Hale , downsman says I think it's excellent that the system allows an outstanding academic and law policy-maker into the top judicial echelons. An injection of new thinking into a culture with a strong narrowing tendency. That this has also achieved the promotion of a woman is double bubble.
