Another bunch of uninspiring snippets from the legal world.
Heat of the moment
A law student has been found guilty of ABH after punching a shopkeeper. Jude Ukachukwu, a student at the illustrious University of Hertfordshire, punched Sasisedaran Sellathurai, cutting the poor chap's head. The cause of the attack? Jude had previously bought a packet of condoms at the Stella Supermarket, Hatfield. Whilst on the job, two [two? Ed.] of said prophylactics split. Much - one presumes - to everyone's displeasure.
Jude didn't get him money back from the condom-monger, and so punched him in the bonce. Indeed threatened to kill him. And has now found himself facing costs - to add to his student debt - and 150 hours of community service.
Now there might be plenty of big swinging d*cks in the City - but this is not the best way to join them.
For the common good
Salary details have been released for White House lawyers. Top of the tree was White House Counsel Robert Bauer, who tucked $172,000 into his back pocket. Back in private practice, Robert raked in $960k. But I'm sure the warm public service feeling makes up for that slight difference in remuneration.
Annoyingly, Ainsley Hayes wasn't listed.
Poked
The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers have stated that 81% of their 1,600 members have used or faced evidence taken from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and the like in divorce cases.
Several examples are given, including The Source's favourite, a case in which the husband denies anger management issues but posts on Facebook in his "write something about yourself" section: "If you have the balls to get in my face, I'll kick your ass into submission."
Boxing clever
A former Freshfields associate has won her tenth bout as a profefssional boxer, and is now headed for a British title fight. Laura Saperstein - unsurprisingly born in tomboy Australia - stated that she "deserved [her] place on that stage".
As an amateur, Saperstein won her first bout in one minute. Which is about as long as The Source would stay in the ring before buckling at the knees and crying for nanny. Which is - strangely enough - exactly what happened in another of Laura "Lefthook" Saperstein's fights - she punched her opponent, who started crying and refused to carry on. Who can blame her?
