Justinian bloggers (blawg)
Justinian proudly publishes some of the finest lawyers ever to get their fingers near a computer keyboard. This is part of Justinian's repository that comes out from behind the paywall.
Artemus Jones - Spending time with a women who is not his wife.
Barely Legal - Still at law school, trying to understand what it's all about.
Comment - Untamed opinions.
Critics Corner - Criticism of critics.
Dorothy Says - Dot is a partner at a big law firm with acidic observations about what goes on.
Junior Junior - Our baby barrister blogger slowly comes to grips with the mysteries of the bar.
Peach Melba - Dazzling, with a finely tuned Yarraside snout.
Procrustes - The columnist who also blogs.
Student-at-Large - Small students with large opinions.
Theodora - Theodora was married to Justinian, and despite a shaky start in life now runs the empire like Mrs Thatcher.
Unrobed - Reporting on unhealthy obsessions.
We'd happily induct you into the blawging hall of fame if you wanted to unpack a few burning issues. Contact the Ed. for further and better particulars.
