Lord Pannick to represent City / Pannick's OJ-style Summation

[BlueMoonRisin’]

To Panic/ The Smiths

Panicick is our brief from London
Panick on the streets of New Islington
He's yet to prove himself

Could our club be the same again?
The lies and deceit that he'll strip down
I wonder to myself

Golf n' posh grub in that club In Mere
But, tater pie, is what you get here
So you run down to Tast tapas in town

But there's panic on the streets of Ardwick
Denton, Gorton and Moss Side
I wonder to myself

Burn down Old Trafford
Hang the blessed Fergie
Because the bullshit that rags constantly say

They say Council house massive about my club
Hang the fuckin' lot of 'em
Because the bitter bullshit they constantly say

Hang the Fergie, hang the Fergie, hang the Fergie, hang the Fergie...

Nice gesture if he comes on the pitch at half time ;)

Full kit & wig.

 

[halfcenturyup]

Give it up is a waaaayyyy better tune!

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na now
Baby, give it up
Give it up.

:)

Brings it all back.

Getting Silk (becoming a KC) is awarded to any barrister regarded as having reached a degree of proficiency in their particular area of legal speciality. So, yes there are KCs practising as criminal lawyers.

... not sure why they would though - the bog standard pay grade's about 1/4 - 1/3 of a barrister's for jobbing lawyer.

My understanding is that any qualified solicitor can try for the bar - they select a specialised field for themselves - which may be contract law, employment law or criminal law. In the case of the latter it would be a specific part of criminal law (so barristers would cover a specific type of offence...sex offences / fraud offences etc, only). Its probably the same for those covering other types of law - I wouldn't know because I've never asked

If Arsenals legal beagle, Jack Hackett, is anything to go by - we'll be fine.

I‘m not a lawyer though I have in my professional career been involved in a number of complex legal matters though only from a commercial perspecgive. I wouldn’t put too much value therefore in my comments as I’m merely expressing my views. However, it does seem obvious to me at a time when the government has produced a white paper proposing an independent regulator, this case will likely expose the FA PL’s ability (or lack of) to regulate itself and may strengthen the case for an independent regulator to be appointed. But that’s just my view. I don’t charge £5,000 per hour (more’s the pity).

I will never look at a KFC in the same way again.

I have a feeling he’s a Spurs fan.

I do like the irony though of Abu Dhabi appointing a Jewish lawyer who’s married to an Israeli woman. ;-)

Anyone can apply to train for the Bar. Getting pupillage is far more difficult and depends a lot on personal contacts. An education at Winchester and Oxbridge will help.

As per with most careers, it’s not what you know, but who you know.

No wonder I’ve been stuck in the same job for 27 years.

Read your reply before. Good to know you think the same about FFP. :-)

Martin Edelman is a New York Jew who has been on City's board for more than a decade. He concentrates his legal practice on real estate and corporate mergers amongst other things. Working with Jews is not something novel in the United Arab Emirates.
