This appears to have been quite an embarrassing moment for the British justice system. Antiquated, but often not in a charming way

Judge says to jury: "I understand you have a #WhatsApp group. They are a relatively new phenomenon." She tells them that it is fine for them to discuss "who is going to bring the milk or the biscuits" but adds: "Remember not to discuss the case on the WhatsApp group."

As I discovered when addressing the judge in this case, there are no open justice and/or public interest arguments which will override Legal Professional Privilege. More to come when the judgement is released. In today's @lawsocgazette magazine

This is the Chris Kaba case at the Old Bailey, it appears as many suggested to be an order under s.11 of the Contempt of Court Act, 1981. The media are applying to lift the reporting restrictions which prevent identification of the officer, currently known only as NX121. Ongoing.

“there has been very little coverage and virtually no press outrage about this scandal until the ITV dramatisation came along” - that’s just an objectively untrue statement and I think the author knows it, but well done on going viral

Why did it take an ITV drama to raise public awareness of the Post Office scandal? For too long, the media showed hardly any interest in an injustice that ruined hundreds of lives. Journalists need to get their priorities straight, says Jordan Tyldesly

The NCTJ exam of 'court reporting' saw the biggest drop in number of candidates sitting (-88) compared to all other modules examined (except for shorthand). The next biggest drop was -47 in Essential Journalism. And -24 in broadcast journalism - TV News.

NCTJ exams report: "The court reporting module saw a further drop in the number of candidates sitting the assessment...867 candidates took the exam, down from 955 in 2021-22 and 1,208 in 2020-21. The fall in numbers remains a concern of the law board."

Also in @TimesLaw , I speak to a barrister who highlights an "issue with overpolicing the online lives of minority lawyers". Blessing Mukosha Park ( @BATTHEBAR ) warns talented barristers may leave the Bar if “over-scrutinisation” of their content continues.

Students who achieved the NCTJ’s gold standard – A-C grades in all compulsory modules plus 100wpm shorthand – are even more likely to get their foot in the door, with 88pc working a journalism job within 15 months.

This was a harrowing case to sit through and a difficult application to make, but we felt duty-bound to put the case for naming these defendants forward. Some may think the public have a right to know who was responsible for this appalling murder

There are a lot of accounts on X which promote the false idea that only non-white people commit appalling crimes. Some people may genuinely believe this. So here is a series - purely from what I have seen in court - of 20 different white people committing horrific crimes🧵 1/21
