• BabyBarista

  "Serving coffee for the rich and powerful—a junior's view." An admittedly fictional diary of a junior barrister at the English bar. It was a sensation from the start, and the London Times picked it up within months of its launch. It’s part soap opera and part snark from an author who’s cheesed off with the legal profession.

Whether it is music, drama, sport, games, gambling, virtual worlds, user generated content or otherwise, similar legal issues arise."

• Editors’ Blog

  First-person takes on law firm news covered by Legal Week.

• Enlightened Tradition

  "There is a (badly recalled) quotation that is supposed to encapsulate the Enlightenment: 'The antiquity of an idea, a law, or a notion need not necessarily be a reliable indicator of its excellence.' Rationality and Occam’s Razor are better tools for judging excellence, but it is still interesting that irrationality in the form of gossip and (harmless) tradition — such as dress codes and the like — are impressive in their power to remove friction from a range of human relationships and endeavours. Here I want to explore these things, to see how a rational approach to organizational knowledge and learning can fit around established ways of working, traditions or human expectations."

• Laurence Kaye on Digital Media Law

  "As the Internet dog wags its long tail, digital copyright is right there tugging at its lead. Copyright content of every description is shared, mashed, borrowed and adapted on the network. Digital citizens complain that copyright law is no longer fit for purpose in this new world. On the other hand, copyright owners complain about piracy and illegal file sharing. In this blog, we will disentangle the issues and look at what’s really going on in the wacky world of copyright."
