    Indeed. Trying to get to sleep while sober is ridiculously hard.

    Re Maidstone Chambers, I have emailed pupillage portal staff and they said they are looking into it. They have received other similar requests. It will be hopefully advertised on portal for 14 days.
    Well done! That's the entire point of advertising pupillages for the entire "community" to see. It is still surprising how there are sets that still fall through the proverbial cracks. It would seem that there needs to be better communication between the Bar Council, BSB and individual sets, so that the latter are clear about their obligation to post pupillage vacancies in the first place - even if they're non-OLPAS Chambers.

    As for Chilibaldi's attitude, others have articulated my sentiments quite eloquently. Negativity should have no place on here, period.

    I was fine until four minutes ago. Now I feel sick. I can't bring myself to check OLPAS or refresh my emails.

    I don't mean to sound stupid but if my portal says "offer made" does that mean to me?
