Thanks a bunch, and good luck with your call :). Why ten years? I know it takes a bit longer over there, but I thought my six-year process was long! That being said I'm a legal history student - in the 18th century the Call took twelve years minimum, and longer if you wanted to be allowed to practice in certain courts. I'm actually already a student barrister at Gray's Inn (switched from Lincoln's a few months ago after a seminar at Gray's drew my attention to the excellent facilities) and eventually I do hope to take silk, although I'm not sure if that's what you meant :P May I bring you in on something, by the way? We at Wikiproject:Law are going to hopefully draft a guideline on the notability of cases and judicial figures over the next few days/weeks. When I get something started, would you mind chipping in your two cents? The more reasonable and legal eyes on a legal discussion, the better it can get, imo. Feel free to suggest anything we should expand the guideline to contain as well (any other elements of the legal/judicial profession. I can't think of any at the moment).

 * I think there are instructions at AfD. My memory says that you add a link on each of the pages up for discussion and then there's a template allowing you to list the articles at the AfD itself. Ironholds (talk) 19:56, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh, you're a bit behind me. Yes, I'm doing a masters as well - these days you need that and more to get ahead. The proposal isn't yet up in any suggested form, but feel free to suggest changes/additions to what we're throwing around. Ironholds (talk) 20:17, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My personal advice would be to avoid signing up for that until the day you decide that teaching is certainly what you want to do and bugger the bar, otherwise that's a lot of debt to rack up for a minuscule professional advantage. Ironholds (talk) 20:25, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, well you've got a long time to decide :). Good luck with it all! Ironholds (talk) 20:28, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
