Roles in law: PSL
Before starting work in a law firm, I’d never heard of professional support lawyers (PSLs). From day 1 of my training contract, it was clear that these founts of knowledge were interesting, interested, incredibly helpful and all-round golden individuals. PSLs generally won’t appear at your networking events or perhaps even feature heavily on vacation schemes or work experience, but they play an important role in legal practice, so let me introduce you to the role…
Managing Setbacks
We’re generally slow to talk about setbacks. When we do, so often they’re framed in inspirational setback-to-success tales which, whilst admirable, can be hard to relate to and glean any tangible application or advice from. It’s now July – vacation schemes and work experience may be virtual but are now in full swing and Linkedin status updates will undoubtedly populate the next few months.

#1 Data: What's so important about data?
As we (hopefully) begin the thaw out of lockdown, one thing is increasingly prevalent, whether we recognise it or not – data. As governments begin to allow citizens to circulate, tracking their movements is at the forefront of many policymakers’ minds. Location-tracking data is being implemented and discussed across many States as a mechanism by which to regulate the spread of the coronavirus. The debate on data-driven policy is not new but has typically been…
