I blame the recession. After writing what feels like that 35th consecutive piece on job cuts/pay freezes/the credit crunch, I’ve this week felt utterly bereft of inspiration to blog. CC’s less-than-shocking partnership restructuring? What is there left to say? With my ability to punditise so lacking, I even toyed for a moment with writing about Chelsy Davy going to A&O. But apart from thinking that she’s going to stick out like a sore, yet well-tanned, thumb amid the playground atmosphere of a City law firm’s junior ranks (she should have gone to Farrers), I haven’t got an opinion.
Instead, I’m turning to the most leftfield legal story I saw this week - the Bar Standards Board’s banning of BVC graduate Maney Ullah from advertising to secure a pupillage (Davy would have had no trouble getting into the Bar, I bet).
