Practical Law Global

It's #IWD2021 on Monday & our lawbreakers will be joining in the action and sharing how they #choosetochallenge in calling out inequality. If you tag us in, we will do our best to amplify all our lawbreakers' voices! Can't wait! #InternationalWomensDay #internationalwomensday2021

The best way to start your Sunday is always by reading one of Paul’s blogs. “Leadership is about character. It is about people who care,who want to effect change and make a difference.Leadership therefore is about all of us & for all of us,because in this way we are all leaders.”

@Clevy_Law @ChrisCangero Also ‘world class’!

@ChrisCangero That's really what I am getting at. The misuse of words. I do also think that sometimes the descriptive words are misleading or contributing to the degradation of certain words.

Something that I see as a problem within the #legaltech space is the incessant use of jargon and words like transformation and disruption. It's time that we bring reality to bear in the world of #technology and #legaltech. Less hype and more truth. #lawyers #legaltech #learning

This week I visited the site where #GeorgeFloyd was killed. It’s difficult to find words for such a powerful experience. The road to recovery is long and painful, but I walked away with hope after meeting inspiring and active members of the community. #workingatTR

Press ups & nappies:” Inequality isn’t something that exists in the outside world. It lives indoors, part of the everyday ...; ...unpaid work keeps capitalism functioning. This is why a former PM can joke about never having to do it. It’s a sign of power” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

lawincolour.com is live. #LawInColour promotes cultural diversity in the legal profession through storytelling - sharing new and challenging narratives about race, culture and identity in #law. It is an exploration of experience, and an experiment in representation. ⁠

Ha, thanks! I note that @wearelegalgeek cut out the part where I invite everyone watching to a karaoke 40th bday celebration at a later date.... probably a good idea. Also I hope you enjoy my daughter’s puppy pics behind me 🐶
