Introducing...

The old me...

So I beat the gavel to find myself without permanent work as a solicitor (and after 9 years to qualification!) This blog is about the trials and tribulations of a lawyer who doesn't lawyer much...and other things that interest her... Find me on www.twitter.com/Little_Lawyer
The reality has been quite the contrary. I have lawyered lots since qualifying. I worked for 3 months as an employment lawyer (and loved every moment), until recently, I was a regular solicitor for a local Advice Centre working on a pro bono basis, and in my current job, my skills, my attention to detail, my personal attributes, and my legal knowledge have meant that I have been an invaluable part of a successful team.

So whats the point of this post? It is to introduce myself proper. No longer will you hear about how inexperienced I am and how I don't know what I'm good for or where I'm going. Granted, that's still the truth, but ultimately those interested know how long I've been qualified for, and I know I'm a bloody good at anything I've turned my hand to so far, having never been on a losing side. Yes, that's right, I'm a winner. "Fighting talk" I hear you say. I've no reason to lie.

So let me introduce myself:

Optimistic, realistic, candid.
You'll find here a personal perspective. Even so, you'll come to appreciate that I'm around.
Trust me, I'm a lawyer.

  2. I've just starting your blog and have found it a great read. I myself was in a similar situation a few years ago. Most law graduates are familiar with your struggle.

  5. Thanks Michael! I have no room for failure!

    I do hope to be posting more. The excuse I have I mean the problem I have (!) is that I work in a role which doesn't allow me much online time, and when I get home at a reasonable hour, I'm careful about my online time.

    I will turn this around!
