You're entitled to your opinion but it is wrong.

No doubt your sense of entitlement will provide a warm blanket by way of respite.

As your sense of superiority clearly does. Don't you have a case to work on? You obviously have a lot to do...

 

[Nancy_Winks]

Why is everyone so negative and dismissive about Diamond doing pro bono work? That's a good thing to be doing surely?

I'm on my way home from watching the Gooners spank West Brom so I have time to swat away your weak repartee but, yes, when I arrive I will try and build a case for my client, if possible.

Pro bono work is a good thing, diamond misunderstanding the law around which his client's case will be argued, not so much.

I prefer my lawyers to know what they're doing, pro bono or otherwise.

and when you've finished that you could turn to the rather more daunting task of trying to build a case for yourself.

He's probably going to interpret that as needing to present his case to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal some time soon

yes. it's this sort of slipshod shite which i - and i expect others - associate with you. there's none of the evidence of logical procedure in your contributions which i would expect from the trained legal mind, but a load of auld crap which the callowest newbie should be ashamed of.

As evidenced in the concurrent manslaughter/self defence thread. If only he were as avid in his defence of marginalised and excluded people to the extent of supporting them on this thread rather than latterly cynically using it as a vehicle for obtaining the necessary legal references without putting in the work required.

perhaps if he read law books instead of just dusting them now and again he'd be in a position to offer an informed opinion.
