JLU founded!

Whereas the individuals who occupy positions as junior lawyers, law graduates, articled clerks, vacation clerks or paralegals (collectively, junior lawyers) find themselves oppressed by a culture of unspoken pressure and fear, determine it necessary to unite to have their interests represented by a union hereby established:

Be it therefore proclaimed that they have formed a union that shall be known as the Junior Lawyers' Union.*

Hear hear, comrades!

*Borrowing slightly from the Australian Constitution.

The JLU has no official standing or legal personality, particularly in light of the current industrial climate, where we might find our heads pressed against the road by a large boot.
