The big kahuna of Hong Kong bloggers - Hemlock has been kind enough to add my blog to The World’s Most Authoritative Guide to Hong Kong Blogs under the ‘In absentia’ section.
What’s more, the description is a cracker:
“A student in London preparing to meet HK’s insatiable appetite for barristers called John Swaine.”
Unfortunately my Grandfather’s conversion to the status of a solicitor, pending the establishment of John Swaine and Co prohibits absolutely, the possibility of there being 3 John Swaines on the bar list at the same time. 3 generations practicing simultaneously is at the very least a pre-established record that we could have shared with some other family and there is certainly no doubt that having 3 barristers at the bar, from 3 generations of the same family all called John Swaine would constitute some kind of a record.
Nevertheless, I’ll settle for the opportunity to practice in the same chambers as my father - as he did with his. The end of my 2nd and penultimate year of LLB Law brings this dream closer to reality.
Later
John
