Delighted (and somewhat overwhelmed) to have accepted an offer of pupillage with @gardencourtlaw starting in 2023. Emotional for many reasons. A special thank you to all who have supported me along the way. Can't wait to get started!

How very true! Yes lipreading is hard work.. About 30% are "seen" on lips. Rest is guesswork. It helps if you know the subject being discussed… Useful for hearing family, colleagues and friends to be mindful of this… #Deaf #Lipreading

So, @pupillagehub is down - for which apologies. We do it for free & we don’t have a budget. Are there any tech wizards we have helped who might be prepared to help us? DM the @pupillagehub account if so, please. And thank you.

@RogerBeeson Thanks for head up. I came across this yesterday and pleased to see @MBSLI is interpreting it. Unfortunately it clashed with my daughter's GCSE's option evening. Hoping one of my colleagues can attend.

I'd like to know if you have any tactics or tips how to get solicitors to back down and follow the law to not discriminate Deaf people from accessing law ⚖
Tony Barlow@Saltbar

This is a thing. At my place of work, we tried supporting a client to access a solicitor. Went on Law Society where you can search nearest solicitors. Oh joy, you can filter them by BSL Access. Called all 9 of them and they all refused to provide. But but you said on website you

@BSLTranslator @Suepro38 Peripheral. Other than acknowledging the importance of it, interpreting is not really a theme for this panel to discuss. The link above gives more of a flavour of what will be covered.

After processing the news, I am happy to announce that I have an offer for pupillage with Nexus Chambers commencing later this year. To my mom, who made the brave decision to move from Greece to the UK with her kids so she could give me a better and fairer future - thank you!
