by Ryan Clement AS I SAID, today was initially set aside solely for editing. But my legal professional commitments prevented this from happening. So I decided that I would start writing Day Six for around 2 hours, go for breakfast (which I do not normally have when at home) and do some editing on theContinue reading “DAY TWO of a writer’s diary”

DAY ONE of a writer’s diary
by Ryan Clement IT’S LATE and I have a 6.45am flight ✈️ tomorrow morning from Gatwick South. Although I don’t live too far from the airport, time-wise. I can drive there in 45 minutes. But I wasn’t going to do that drive to get there for 5am, which means leaving home no later than 4.15am,Continue reading “DAY ONE of a writer’s diary”
Brown v Board of Education 2
by Ryan Clement ON 17 May 2024, I wrote a blog about Brown v Board of Education, which I had first come across when I read for my Master of Laws (LL.M.) many moons ago. ONE OF THE PLEASURES OF WRITING is when someone says that they were introduced to a subject matter through whatContinue reading “Brown v Board of Education 2”
CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT
by Ryan Clement, barrister LIKE WITH MOST CONTRACTS, a contract of employment consists of three key components: offer, acceptance and consideration. THE OFFER is made by the prospective employer, which is ACCEPTED by the prospective employee. CONSIDERATION would be, amongst other things, the employee agreeing to undertake the work that is stipulated in the contractContinue reading “CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT”
⚖️ ON BALANCE ⚖️
by Ryan Clement, LL.M., barrister STANDARDS OF PROOF are more prevalent in our daily lives than many of us might care to realise.

The New Kid on the Block “IN UNDER 1 MINUTE ⏳”
THERE IS A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK, metaphorically speaking, of course! Yes, in terms of YouTube videos, it’s new. Born just this week. It’s a bubba! I have no idea who makes them 🤥 but they are good. I’m simply the messenger not the message! 😉 In fact, if I must say so, theyContinue reading “The New Kid on the Block “IN UNDER 1 MINUTE ⏳””
We Reap What We Sow!
by Ryan Clement FRSA, barrister IN THE UK, as we are about to enter a season of political rhetoric, soundbites and accusations (true and false), it was a pleasure today to speak in every class of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School & Nursery in North West London as part of its Careers Week,Continue reading “We Reap What We Sow!”
THE VERDICT
by Ryan Clement, LL.M., BA., BSc., FRSA, barrister UNLIKE within some jurisdictions (where some jurors become celebrities in their own right if chosen for high-profile cases), we in the UK are not privy to the deliberations of a jury. If you haven’t yet watched or heard Channel 4’s experiment in, ‘The Jury; Murder Trial,’ andContinue reading “THE VERDICT”
Called to the Bar
28 Years ago on 10 October 1996 I was Called to the Bar of England & Wales. I remember the day as if it were only yesterday. I made my way to Chancery Lane, in London, to collect my wig and gown for the day’s event. Many would be barrister, alone or accompanied by family,Continue reading “Called to the Bar”
