The blog’s name, From the Bar Stool, is a nod to my profession’s society – the bar; the stool is a metaphor for being relaxed and casual; and when put together – bar stool, it is a metaphor for casual soliloquies, for me anyway.

The opinions and views expressed in the postings and essays on this website are mine. They do not represent the position of the Bar Council or anybody else.
