So, 2025 is the year that I get to introduce/inflict my new pseudonymous pen name - S.J. Fleet.

And send this little critter out into the world.

August 2025 will be the debut of The Cut Throat Trial (although you can pre-order now).

And good Lord I’m terrified.

I am finding it genuinely disappointing that most people and organisations decided to stay on Twitter. It’s not great for me professionally not to be on it but morally it feels wrong. What to do ?

After many years playing Riff Raff in a production of the Rocky Horror Show, I can now say pretty much anything in a voice that sounds like Richard O'Brien. The only use I have found for this ability is creeping out the children of my cousins and siblings.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

YES! This is exactly what we do. Our experienced clinical legal educators guide our volunteers through case preparation and to the point when they represent the client in tribunal alone. Real legal skills developed in real cases but in a safe environment. This needs to be scaled up significantly.
In-person, hands-on, supervised clinical experience is critical to how the medical profession develops doctors. There is no good reason why the legal profession shouldn't take the same approach. Mark my words: Supervised practice is the future of lawyer formation. www.queensu.ca/alumni/news/...
