Amicus; Giving What We Can
Nov. 15th, 2009 11:26 pmA couple of quick links before bed: firstly, via the BBC, Adjusting to life after death row. I do recommend you read this; I met John Thompson a few months ago at an Amicus training event, and he's an inspiring man. I really do wish I could give more time than I currently do to Amicus and Lifelines - pretty much all of my pro bono work is done for one or the other of them, and it's so hard to keep that going during term-time. I try, though, and I highly recommend anyone with legal inclinations to check out the work that they do.
Secondly, a truly great thing being done by some friends: via the BBC, via timesonline, Giving What What We Can.
The friends doing this are some really, honestly good people, and I hope lots of people take a look at this.
As for myself: I've been thinking about it. It's something I will do, I've decided, when I have an income with which to do it. For one thing, given what my chosen profession actually is, there is a not unreasonable likelihood that my income over my lifetime is likely to be quite a bit higher than the figures mentioned, and this is something I ought to be embarrassed about. I don't know. I shall give the matter some serious thought.
