JR? Junior barrister?
Judicial Registrar
Fair enough. I just thought they were registrars. I’m out of touch with the lingo living overseas
Some are, some aren’t.

My former supervising solicitor used to say to me “don’t take notes, you should remember what I tell you”.
Is that normal? I write everything down. When you hand me 10 files it helps to have a list
Not normal. Former supervisor for a reason.
Ipso facto calling in a hit on your supercilious supervisor solves your problem.
That sounds incredibly stupid. I always tell our paralegals to write everything down. Sometimes they don’t, and then they come back two weeks later asking how to do it.
That seems...fucking bonkers.
Edit: with that logic, you should have worked on the logic of "Don't read case law, I should remember what the judge tells me."
Yep he was a massive pain to work for. Thank goodness it’s all in the past now. Edit: and the worst part was it really made me doubt myself and my abilities and lose a lot of confidence. I would try not taking notes and found myself always behind.
