There’s always someone.

After being put through the Bar Council’s Professional Standards Course twice, I certainly wasn’t alone, when I felt that the exam lacked a lot.

a lot, A LOT, A LOT.

After this article came out today, I just felt I had to ask,

why? WHY? WHY?

I was especially frustrated by this statement “the deteriorating standards of the legal profession”.

As someone who has only just dipped her little pinky toe in the pool that is the legal profession, I can’t help but shrug and sigh each time I hear this oft repeated statement. How much more discouraging can a statement be?

Is it my fault that I came into being in 1983? Who can I blame? My uni? I studied like everyone else, did the standards in my uni drop? Is my degree not as good as someone else born in 1973? Do I lack moral values? Did I not read Aesop’s fables? *frustration*

Well, I suppose I could prove them wrong.

I think that this starts with having the guts to admit that I’m an idiot, when I’m an idiot.

The story of the judge not being able to see or hear an improperly dressed lawyer before him, is one that has been repeated to me and any other chambering student (who got called recently and who ain’t lying), as often as that evil statement.
