Spoons is moving from being a civil litigator to being a criminal prosecutor. Yes, yes, I know, not the usual ranting and raving sort of news you expect from this site. But he’s going here:

please assume that I will be working for the International Court of Justice in The Hague

This means that he will be working with the cousin and cousin in law who are translators there. Sweet! Oh, and Spoons, as they pointed out to me at the last family gathering, don’t do what several French lawyers have done, take the translation earphones home with you. They only work when there’s a translator plugged into the other end.
