As part of Obiter's tireless efforts to bring you pictures of celebrities and the legal profession, here are two shots from a recent party held by London-based David Price Solicitors & Advocates, which doubled as the launch bash for the third edition of Defamation Law, Procedure and Practice, by David Price and colleague Korieh Duodu.

First, we have a picture of Mr Price himself and trainee Kathryn van Gelder alongside television legend Keith 'Cheggers Plays Pop' Chegwin.

We also have a photograph of our own celebrated media law columnist...

and some bloke with a beard.

Amber Melville-Brown is clearly smarming with the best of them.

The chap she's schmoozing is reality television junkie Nick Bateman - as the party went on late into the night, the guests voted him out.

Oh all right, not really (they are libel lawyers, after all).
