Knowledge gap ; ; ;The lawyers at The Smith Partnership in Derby are a competitive bunch.

They entered no fewer than four teams in Derby Law Societys 38-team annual general knowledge quiz and walked away with first and second prizes.

With this success under our belts, said winning team member Russell Davies, there is talk of our entering a television quiz and The Weakest Link seems to be the hot favourite at present.

But after the quiz the nature of Derbys lawyers weakest link was clear.

It is, erm, the law.

Mr Davies conceded that when it came to the round on legal knowledge, none of the teams scored particularly well.
