The Underage Lawyer: Recent Episodes
The Underage Lawyer
What is it like to be a clerk? Well it's a hard and fast lesson that it's time to wear black and keep a straight face - because a court room may look like a peacock dance, but it's full of very serious lawyers. ;)
What do young professionals do when faced with important clients? You'd hope that they'd something impressive...but sometimes we literally 'drop our bundle.' I write all about it in my latest blog.
There was an article in the economist today titled ‘Internet firms’ legal immunity is under threat.'

It is the general rule that you cannot intentionally misinform the public without some consequence for your mistake. We witness this most commonly through media shows like today tonight or consumer affairs, which publicly shame businesses for misinforming the public producing a false or unfair result. A couple of years ago a juice company Ribena was rebuked after its ‘black current health drink’, promoted to children and their families, was shown to be incredibly unhealthy. The drink deliberately misled parents to believe that it was safe to consume regularly when in actuality it could have harmful effects on health if regularly consumed without a healthy diet and regular exercise. I am sure there are much more examples of penalties for companies that misinform the public.
I want to talk about the importance of self-communication. There are a lot of buzzwords surrounding the skill of communication. It’s something that we all promote that we have when we apply for a new job or attempt to make new friends. It’s a skill that we could not survive in this universe without. Communication is as essential as breathing, but what is often forgotten about is self-communication.
No Way, Bob Day - it sounds like a children's book, but in truth, it's nothing short of tax dollars pouring down the drain :)
