All in the head girl: more hold-the-front-page news from the world of legal appointments. We'll spare the firm and individual in question's blushes, but we have just received a release entitled 'Head Girl Joins Law Firm'. Yes, watch the instructions pile up as someone who was head girl of one of the local schools some 15 years ago returns as an associate partner to a law firm in the area. In a fantastically informative release, we are told that she is 'an active sportswoman, listing scuba diving among her hobbies and has recently entered her first 10km race'.


All fascinating stuff, and let's hope she does well in the race. However, it still does not enter the Obiter pantheon of the greatest bits of trivia. This is occupied jointly by the solicitor who kept tropical fish and had to miss her start date because of appendicitis, and her colleague who was pleased to get the job because he cycles and the secure cycle shed was 'a big plus'.



More news as we get it.
