Thanks @jakubjaraczewski.bsky.social for putting this together ^G
Seems like the new craze here is to make a starter pack. So, for those you trying to make sense of the hr/dem/rol landscape in Poland and lost as to how many Supreme Courts the country has, here are some quality people to begin with.
We all pay Companies House an increasing amount of money each year though to check this sort of stuff, right? @marklazarowicz.bsky.social #business #law
Thanks v much @marklazarowicz.bsky.social for bringing this one to our attention - in interests of international comity, worth following some of these great legal minds ^
π¨π¨ This is an excellent starting pack with some great EU politics/law nerds signed @euolifant.bsky.social . All accounts very worth following here. π

My first week as a trainee lawyer, the Ally McBeal of Scottish law, according to the @heraldscotland.bsky.social, tells me thatβs what I was like ;-) Great art ^G
At 2am on Wednesday 8 February 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots wrote what is believed to be her last letter.

Delighted to be at the #NLS100 celebrations, celebrating 100 years of curation, cataloguing + making Scotland's precious collections accessible. From Byron to the Beano, from Mary Queen of Scots' final letter to football programmes, the @natlibscot.bsky.social collection has something for everyone
Have heard some Scots lawyers make some really good arguments against closure of libraries. Good luck to the future lawyers in Scotland who can help with the effort here π
Libraries and *librarians* didnβt just change my life - they saved it. Today I was honoured to be made a Centenary Champion for @natlibscot.bsky.social along with the great @valmcdermid.bsky.social
