I love the way there are always the predictable elements but I usually still cannot guess who the identity of the murderer. I love the way that the murder is so sanitised that it is difficult to imagine that anyone real has
- [Traffic Phobia - the Human Cost of "Claim Farming"](https://karelawyers.com.au/traffic-phobia-the-human-cost-of-claim-farming/) - As an Articled Clerk, I applied for Income Protection Insurance. The burly insurance broker tried to put me at ease when it came to medical disclosure. "Don't worry, I've heard it all before". I took a deep breath before confessing "I was once admitted to New Farm Clinic for treatment of a driving phobia". His

I do not blame them. They are in pain and looking for empathy and the last thing they want is to see me coughing and spluttering. Unfortunately, like many people at this time of year, I
- [The Hardest Word](https://karelawyers.com.au/the-hardest-word/) - "Sorry" seems to have a bad wrap in our culture these days. When we were kids we were told to say sorry when we hurt someone, broke something or said something mean. It was ubiquitous and I do not remember ever questioning it. When we grow up the word seems to be more loaded. Women,

The Secret Heiress has a great twist in being Australian. Although Kate Morton has written some rollicking gothic novels, they have essentially been set in England (despite being imagined in Kate's Bardon home!) Luke Devenish has set The Secret

In the early part of my career, I found it upsetting. I hated the idea that people would associate me with the distasteful scenes in John Grisham movies - preying on people at their most vulnerable, signing them up to contracts while they

The title and the cover are also very generic and forgettable. Looking for something to read this week, I picked it up somewhat reluctantly not expecting much. I was pleasantly

It inspired an episode of Seinfeld and the Stella Awards - a list of stupid things people do and then sue for it. I have a confession to make. I never read the case. It just wasn't relevant to my clients. It was in America and we know

No leisurely lunches or naval gazing for me this International Women's Day. However, this photo popped up in my Facebook memories feed recently. It is a candid photo of me with some of my school friends at a leadership training camp just before we started Senior at High School. I

After more than a few people mentioned Molly Meldrum's speech, I looked it up on YouTube. It has been described as "car crash TV", Molly gatecrashing Samuel Johnson's speech and just plain rude.

After an affair with her High School art teacher, Issy finds
- [Litigation Myths from TV](https://karelawyers.com.au/litigation-myths-from-tv/) - We regularly deal with myths and misconceptions generated by legal dramas. It's hardly surprising. Most legal dramas centre on personal injuries litigation, criminal law or family law. There are two main reasons why you cannot rely on TV dramas to understand the litigation process. One is that most of them are American. Although we have many

I loved it but I have a confession to make before I can recommend it - I'm a bit of a sucker for Hitchcock style suspense. I know that those old thrillers were not at all believable but I really do not care.
- [What I'm Reading - Lion or A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley](https://karelawyers.com.au/what-im-reading-lion-or-a-long-way-home-by-saroo-brierley/) - I haven't seen the recent movie "Lion" starring Nicole Kidman. As compelling as the story seemed of a young boy finding the small Indian village where he was born, I have heard that the movie gets bogged down in too many scenes of google maps searches. That sounded somewhat less compelling. Ultimately I read the

Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this book as a fun page-turner. The subject matter was not immediately evident as light reading. Stella Sweeney is a beauty therapist and mother of two teenage children

- [Liability for Bullying](https://karelawyers.com.au/liability-for-bullying/) - The Netflix series "Thirteen Reasons Why" has attracted its fair share of criticism. It portrays a graphic suicide scene which has raised concerns about the potential for copycats. Another concern by psychiatrists and other mental health experts is that it tends to suggest that there are definable reasons why someone commits suicide. This is a

As a bit of a Sherlock Holmes' tragic, I have no idea how this little gem slipped under the

Anh Do's memoir was a bit of an odd choice for me. Anh is slightly younger than me. Usually I would think he was far too young to be able to write an insightful memoir. Also, I am not a big fan of

Some people feel that claiming damages is somehow immoral or wrong. These are comments we often hear during initial inquiries:- "I have never done anything like this before" "I am not one of those people who sues people" or even "I don't believe in making claims

I loved both of them and I can feel an Ian McEwan binge read coming on. I know some people didn't like Atonement. There is no doubt it was deeply tragic and the brilliance of the characterisations only made it more

- [Mind over Money](https://karelawyers.com.au/mindovermoney/) - Contrary to popular belief, the overwhelming number of compensation recipients take the management of their payout very seriously. Anecdotally, I believe it is because they have seen and heard the way in which the damages are calculated - by reference to future medical expenses and future loss of income. Our clients are usually very concerned
- [Returning to Work](https://karelawyers.com.au/returning-to-work/) - There are all sorts of reasons why we don't always have consistent employment. Sometimes "career breaks" (to use the latest buzz words) are planned for travel or parental leave. Even these planned breaks can be hard to return from and not only because you get used to living the high life. It does not take

The first one I read was The Alphabet Sisters which was a beautiful story about the complex relationships between sisters. A sequel, Lola's Secret, was a big disappointment but The Trip of a Lifetime seals off the trilogy perfectly. Lola Quinlan, Grandmother of the eponymous Alphabet Sisters from the first

It sounds too much like a trashy romance. Luckily I was drawn in by the Amish angle and the book proved to be anything but trashy or stereotypical. Hannah Hilty is a young Amish woman who flirted with a non-Amish man during her rumspringa. She ends

In Queensland, under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991, sexual harassment is illegal. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what constitutes sexual harassment. The Act defines sexual harassment as when a person:- (a) subjects another person to an unsolicited act of physical intimacy; or (b)makes

When I heard about the premise of "Nutshell" - a story told from the perspective of a fetus - I was skeptical. However, once again McEwan didn't disappoint. The eponymous nutshell narrates the story of his already dysfunctional family life. His parents have

Bill Bryson's other travelogues are hilarious ("Neither Here nor There" is probably my favourite). This book covers Bill's attempt to trek the Appalachian Trail. This is the same trail Cheryl Strayed walked in her memoir "Wild" which I found
- [Dear Australian Open Organisers](https://karelawyers.com.au/dear-australian-open-organisers/) - I am still reeling from an amazing weekend at the Australian Open Finals. It had been on my tennis-obsessed husband's bucket list for at least 25 years and we finally did it. Even though I can usually take it or leave it, I loved it almost as much as he did.

- [What I'm Reading - Carnegie's Maid by Marie Benedict](https://karelawyers.com.au/what-im-reading-carnegies-maid-by-marie-benedict/) - Historical fiction is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know it is not to everyone's taste. Even history buffs often complain when novelists invent side stories or speculate about unrecorded conversations. I just love it because there are so many questions that cannot be answered by a straight analysis of the evidence.
