The 2026 BGuiled Debate Finals

Do you enjoy joy?

Comedy?
Debating (but like, in a fun way)?
Tears of laughter?
Incisive and hilarious commentary on the law and legal profession?
Impressively executed self-deprecating humour?
Making fun of yourselves, your colleagues, your friends, and your “friends” [said with the passive-aggressive intonation of an angry lawyer in Chambers]?

Lucky you! You are cordially invited to attend the 2026 bGuiled Debate Finals – where the four finalists compete for the ultimate prize: acknowledgement from peers that they can be funny, at least sometimes.
