A legal awards dinner was greatly improved last week as a trainee vomited over other guests.
The trainee, who is from Stephenson Harwood, was attending the Law Society Excellence Awards, a "glittering" annual bash held at the Hilton Hotel on Park Lane. Sources report that as the glittering trophies were handed out, the trainee became so drunk that she was sick on three associates, and an ambulance had to be called.
RollOnFriday will not be naming the trainee, on the basis that everyone's been there once, albeit not normally in front of hundreds of lawyers and all over several of them. A spokeswoman for the firm said, "Our trainee is understandably extremely embarrassed and regrets drinking too much. She's very grateful to her colleagues for being so forgiving". Specifially, that's the colleagues who were hit with a geyser of goat's cheese tart, lamb shank and crème brûlée.
"We spend considerable time teaching our trainees the essentials of law and wider business skills", added the spokeswoman, desperately hoping to move onto safer territory, "but clearly we need to emphasise more the skill of knowing when you've had one too many glasses of bubbly. It’s a lesson many of us learned the hard way!". Stephenson Harwood did not win any awards at the event.

Back when I was a trainee, one of our number showed up (unnamed) on national news having sparked a massive search and rescue mission by leaving his clothes on a south coast beach late one night. In fact, he'd gone for a drunken dip and staggered home stark naked when he lost sight of his kit.

For the avoidance of doubt I have never been employed by the Shed.
