Vor ein paar Jahren hat die Kanzlei Mischcon de Reya, in der Londoner City, eine Dichterin eingestellt, um die Mitarbeiter (ob Anwälte oder Sekretärinnen) zum Dichten anzuregen. Es gibt es sogar eine deutsche Website mit der Übersetzung eines Gedichts von Lavinia Greenlaw. Die City of London hat (hatte?) auch ihren erste offiziellen Dichter, John Mole.

Following the comment under the entry on Burtlaw, I recall there was a poet in residence at a London law firm a few years ago. The firm was Mishcon de Reya (who represented the Princess of Wales in her divorce – they have a weird website, incidentally with some documents and transcripts from the David Irving/Penguin trial) and the poet Lavinia Greenlaw. She held seminars to encourage people in the firm who wanted to write poetry. Here is a poem of hers in English and German. Continue reading →

Happy birthday on 30th May to Burton Hanson, whose weblog Burtlaw’s Law and Everything Else does not separate law and literature – rather like Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey, links for whom are provided under the category Law and Brits.

Here is a list of the categories:

bq. Daily Quick Links – Daily Quotes – Daily Poem -BurtLaw’s Places – Featured Sites – Greatest Quotes On Law – Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Laws – Law and Justice Holmes – Law And Love I & II – Law And Kissing – Law And Poetry – Legal Writing – Romantic Flicks I & II – Rockin’ Rand Recommends – Court Gazing I & II & III & IV & V – Judging – Mandatory Retirement of Judges – Judicial Economics – Judicial Independence & Accountability – Judicial Elections – Lawyers On Parade – Law And Economics – Legal Secretaries – BurtLaw’s Legal History – Secular Sermons – Law & Christmas – Law and Women – Law And Kids – Fathers And Kids – Law And Norwegians – Law and Brits – Law And Dogs – Animals – Law & Death – Law & Comics – Law and Friends – Law and Swimsuits – Crime And Punishment – Capital Punishment – BurtLaw’s CaseLaw – Politics – Harvard Law School – War I & II & III & IV – About BRH – About Mathilda Wonder Dog – Contact BRH

‘Law and Poetry’ seems a bit lacking in law (although it has a couple of Hanson’s own verses for Valentine’s Day).

The Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Deutscher Bibliotheksverband have produced a website called ‘deutsche internet bibliothek’ (um – what happened to hyphens?). This is a collection of links.

Via Handakte WebLAWg.
