Having manned an IT-support station, representatives from Justis Publishing have just returned from Keble College, Oxford, where JustCite was the exclusive sponsor of the South Eastern Circuit’s world-renowned Advanced Advocacy Course.
Attended by nearly 100 junior barristers from numerous common law countries, the course offered participants the coaching and expertise of 30 experienced QCs and judges. It also provided them with the research opportunities of the JustCite citator, made freely accessible to all during the period of preparation leading up to intensive mock trials, for which Justis staffers acted as jurors.
Gruelling though the week was for those keen to improve their litigation skills, nearly 40 of the participants found time to enter our iPad prize draw, for which we asked them to say in no more than 50 words how JustCite helped them with their research.
Fighting off stiff competition from (unsurprisingly) erudite fellow entrants, the winning submission was penned by Georgina Crawford, a personal injury specialist at 12 King’s Bench Walk in London, who wrote this charming limerick:
There was a barrister at Keble
Whose notes were particularly feeble
She heard of JustCite
This allayed her fright
And she found the cases she pleaded
Enjoy your iPad and JustCite, Georgina, and we’ll let you off with a suspended sentence for the rhyming of “pleaded” with “Keble” and “feeble”.
