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.
