A new TV concept for NCTJ law students? | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/05/22/a-new-tv-concept-for-nctj-law-students
A new TV concept for NCTJ law students? May 22, 2015. May 22, 2015. If this week’s Essential Media Law and Court Reporting exams were a TV programme it would be called, ‘Defamation, Defamation, Defamation’. Fortunately it was something I had studied well as there were two compulsory questions and one optional one on it. This did throw me somewhat. Could this really be so? Had I misunderstood the previous questions? I dithered for a moment – (would choosing the same topic again work against me? Notify me ...

Awareness of speed | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/03/04/awareness-of-speed
March 4, 2015. March 5, 2015. Today I completed a National Speed Awareness course 8am 12pm at Brighton racecourse with 23 other people caught on camera. The instructions were clear be there on time. ‘Late arrivals will be refused admittance onto the course. The course fee ( 85) will not be reimbursed’. At 730 I joined a dozen people sitting silently watching the rest arrive. Everyone looked ‘normal’. I already felt ashamed. We did get statistics. The age at which children learn about danger age 8 to 10.

So near, yet so far | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/so-near-yet-so-far
So near, yet so far. June 19, 2015. June 19, 2015. I’ve had some great news this week. On Tuesday I learned I passed my 80 wpm shorthand and today I got a provisional A for my portfolio. But there’s still a mountain to climb – the 100 wpm shorthand. Last Friday I sat my first 100 wpm. I was not expecting much, was just there for the experience. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was a lovely passage about litter and second homes and went quite smoothly. But was it smooth enough? Results are in →. June 7,...

Crime and punishment and FOIs | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/02/03/195
Crime and punishment and FOIs. February 3, 2015. February 3, 2015. There are an awful lot of crimes against the person and against property! While none of the terms were brand new, there were a lot I would not have been able to define, such as assault and battery. It turns out you can assault someone without actually touching them assault is. A hostile act that causes another to. Taking something that belongs to someone else with the intention to permanently deprive. The outcome of the case. Although the...

The best-laid plans | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/the-best-laid-plans
January 27, 2015. January 27, 2015. With a day off work and a to-do list with 14 items on it I was feeling confident and had high hopes. It didn’t all go quite to plan. Does it ever? Waking up nice and early went well but I made the mistake of switching on Radio 4. More than once the presenters’ soothing tones have lulled me back to sleep and today I was soon fast asleep for another hour. Preparing for a social media exercise we’ll be doing in Saturday’s class turned out to be a mammoth task. When I fina...

May 14, 2015. As my law exams get closer, my revision notes more condensed and I am finally starting to retain information I am finding numbers a helpful prompt.

At the business end of things | Emma Clothier
https://emmaclothier.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/at-the-business-end-of-things
At the business end of things. April 23, 2015. April 23, 2015. This post has been a long time coming. Things have been hotting up and it was a relief to break for Easter – more study but without the full-time work and added hot cross buns. A bit more cutting edge than my work experience on the local daily and weekly papers. (. Shorthand classes have leapt forward. Special outlines, word groupings, common words and speed building to 80 wpm was the the focus of my Easter break. With lots of practice an...

It’s coming together. March 1, 2015. March 1, 2015. After a week off for half term, and one week back, things are beginning to fall into place. Apart from the journey to work being quicker, fewer staff. Work and time to visit the shops on Saturday for the first time since Christmas, I didn’t really notice it. Half term. No lie ins and my studies continued at the same rate of knots. Although I did find time to see Boyhood at the community cinema. Over the break I:. Finished a draft of my feature,. Now I h...

The sun has got his feature hat on. February 1, 2015. February 1, 2015. After my longest blog post to date, this will be my fastest – my eyelid is flickering madly, my dinner is is the oven and a friend is due. Today was a beautifully sunny day and the sun shone on my feature writing. I talked this over with a wise friend who made a great suggestion. Write the feature for my portfolio and once it is complete I can go back and write further pieces. I’d like to do that. In the afternoon I finally made cont...
