The Scots Law Student , Blawg Review, Robert Burns and the Selkirk Grace

The Scots Law Student (@scotslawstudent) was host of Blawg Review this week. It was Burns day and so aptly Burns was the theme. And very well executed it was indeed.

Thanks to The Scots Law Student for including mention of the Inksters Give Blog in his review. He blogged:-

Selkirk Grace

One of Burns’ pithiest poems is the Selkirk Grace, dealing with misfortune and inequality (and thankfulness for not being in that situation) in society in four lines.

    Some hae meat and canna eat,
    And some wad eat that want it;
    But we hae meat, and we can eat,
    Sae let the Lord be thankit.

Sadly this remains the case today and with the recent earthquake in Haiti still constantly in the news the role of charity has been brought to the forefront.

Inksters is a Glasgow based firm of solicitors who have made great and innovative use of social networking and internet communications in general. I discovered the ARTL (Automated Registration of Title to Land) system for electronic property conveyancing through the @BrianInkster twitter feed.

Brian Inkster has made it clear that he possesses an active social conscience and he is not long returned from a Habitat for Humanity Global Village Challenge in Argentina. The firm’s Give Blog has been nominated for a Scotblogs Award and I’d encourage others to check that out.
