King of the pupils

With August now upon us, the Temple has been beset by a veritable plague of mini-pupils. Little worker ants strutting their stuff and cracking jokes about how stupid or thick this or that Law Lord is to have written this or that irrelevant judgment.

With all this activity, TheCreep has spotted an opportunity to make a name for himself by doing free lectures entitled ‘TheCreep’s guide to getting ahead at the Bar’ with a picture of himself in wig and gown pointing at the camera. As he said in the clerks room this morning as he put up another poster advertising his lectures.

‘They may seem irrelevant now but these little fledgling legal eaglets will be the ones passing us work when we’re all QCs. It’s time to invest in our futures BabyB.’

‘Yes,’ said TheVamp, ‘in the Liliputian kingdom of the mini-pupils, even the mini-est of barristers is king.’

BabyBarista is a fictional account of a junior barrister written by Tim Kevan. You can buy the latest BabyBarista novel, 'Law and Peace' on Amazon. The cartoons are by Alex Williams, author of The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus.
