When justice is blind - or comes to court in a wheelchair
Article Abstract:
Many disabled law students in the UK find it very difficult to establish a successful career as a barrister. They face a range of challenges, including physical obstacles, misunderstanding of their condition and the fact that great physical stamina is required to be a successful barrister. However, there are now signs that this situation is beginning to improve. There are still some financial risks involved, as barristers are self-employed, but attitudes towards disabled barristers are now becoming more positive. The bar's Disability Panel can be of particular assistance.

Article Abstract:
Many large retail chains in the UK are now realising that music can be used to control the way customers behave. Supermarket chain Asda has gone on stage further than this, setting up Asda FM, its own satellite radio channel which has been shown to be effective in boosting sales of certain items which are promoted frequently. It has been found that fast music can be effective if a store is busy, encouraging people to move more quickly, while slow music can prompt shoppers to linger and make impulse purchases.
