Best day ever ever ever today! Went to London for a sort of mini pupillage at Temple Gardens. Still not entirely sure which Inn that's part of? Middle Temple?
Had to get up at 6! Arrived 2 hours early, drove around, drank diet coke, read The Times to be "upto date".
The barrister I was shadowing settled his case yesterday so I went to the RCJ with another woman who had a hearing before the master to get approval for an injunction certificate to be issued in Italy to stop some Italian IBM man stealing employees whilst the case is pending.
The master was so scary. I was sat quietly at the back, I was just like aaargh. He kept going "but what is the order..yes but what is it?!..But my problem is that it can't be enforced in Italy as it was made by undertakings" Anyway, in the end he decided to sign the certificate and let the Italian courts worry about enforcement.
Went back to 2TG; glorious sunshine. Then my barrister took me round law london, showed me all the important places. Went in 2 of the libraries..Lincoln's and another one..hmmmmmmmmm..modernish..lot's of rooms, don't have to ask for the big reference books, blue carpets?
It poured it down all the time we were outside, torrential rain, ridiculous! Stopped as soon as we got inside naturally. Then tried to go in Temple Church, but there was a memorial service so we got chucked out..pfffffffffffffft!
Went for lunch at Middle Temple Dining place thing..won't be able to go there again for yeeeeeears as it isn't open to the general public. Beautiful place, yummy food =D Oh I also saw Lincolns dining room, amaaaaaaaazing!!
Then I looked at some particulars of claim from solicitors..appalling! Most of them can't even spell!! "it's" instead of "its" pfffffffft. And theeeeeeen I wrote a chronology for a case that's being appealed by us (the defendant) on Wednesday. That was really interesting, proper barristering ^^
Amusingly, the Claimant asked for a debarring order before action had even begun. It was granted. However, everyone seems to have forgotten about it! Odd huh?! Preliminary damages have already been awarded in favour of the Claimant however we are appealing as the Claimant has been using his own pain management specialist and psychologist. Un peu shady if you ask me!
Theeeeeen I got the train back from Liverpool street on my own for the first time ever =D So all in all a pretty amazing day ^^ Totally want to become a barrister now, only 10 years until I can apply for pupillage!!
