Who’s in the right here? Yer man seems to know his stuff, with due to respect.

It’s all bollix

The pig was steering clear of anything mildly intellectual - must be one of the thickest professions about.

Fuck Da Police

He didn’t even know what the oath was.

He probably graduated top of the class as well.

The Templemore lobotomy centre has been churning out these dopes for a long time now.

The guy in the jumper lives in Navan and took out a 120% mortgage with Start Mortgages in 2007 FFS.

The account that video is on is called “freedomfromalldebt”. All debt? Really? Why should there be freedom from all debt? That’s something they might want to think through for a bit longer than five seconds.

Things must be gone to shit altogether for the Bar. They are advertising courses in the Kings Inns on the radio now.

Collect 20 milk tokens and become a barrister

That was basically the thrust of it. You can become a barrister in your spare time.

The attrition rate at the bar is horrendous and a lot of the newbies have to practice as barristas at night to make ends meet. About 60% drop out before 6 years

How does the whole barrister / solicitor relationship work?
Would solicitors use the same barrister the whole time? All barristers are sole traders aren’t they?

Most solicitors would have a group of barristers they’d frequently use be it for their speciality, knowledge of the law, friendship or trying to get into undergarments.

There’s only very limited ways in which you can instruct a barrister directly. The solicitor is supposed to do all the day to day work on a file and handle money and the BL looks after legal drafting and advocacy.

There are some directly employed Bald like in the AGs office but a large proportion are self employed
