Dorothy Says - Dot is a partner at a big law firm with acidic observations about what goes on. 
Junior Junior - Our baby barrister blogger slowly comes to grips with the mysteries of the bar. 
Peach Melba - Dazzling, with a finely tuned Yarraside snout. 
Procrustes - The columnist who also blogs. 
Student-at-Large - Small students with large opinions. 
Theodora - Theodora was married to Justinian, and despite a shaky start in life now runs the empire like Mrs Thatcher. 
Unrobed - Reporting on unhealthy obsessions. 

We'd happily induct you into the blawging hall of fame if you wanted to unpack a few burning issues. Contact the Ed. for further and better particulars.
