Another day, another law student turned beauty queen. If you can’t get a legal job in this economy, you might as well settle for a free car and a year’s supply of make-up, right? It’s certainly better to get the cosmetics for free than to steal them — just ask Caroline Giuliani (Rudy Giuliani’s attractive daughter, who could herself be a beauty queen.)
Last week we wrote about Chantal Raymond, a gorgeous graduate of Harvard Law School who was recently crowned Miss Jamaica World. Today brings beauty pageant news from across the pond, reported by the Telegraph:
Jessica Linley, 21, defeated 60 other contestants to win the title at the annual pageant in Birmingham. The statuesque blonde – who wants to be a solicitor – will now represent her country at the Miss World contest in China next month.

No, not that kind of solicitation — although the luscious Linley could make a mint in that older but less learned profession. “Solicitor” and “barrister” are British terms for “lawyer.” (For more on the difference between the two, see here.)
Let’s learn more about Linley — for example, where does she go to school? — and maybe see another photo or two….
Linley, who stands an impressive 5’11”, is a law student at Nottingham University — the #4 school for law in the U.K., according to one set of rankings. She holds a variety of leadership positions in the law school and seems to have a head for numbers: she’s treasurer of the law society and finance officer for the Athletic Union. But she’s taking time off from her studies to focus on winning the Miss World contest.
Now is the time for litigation teams to adopt AI
Facing growing caseloads and data volumes, law firms that rely on outdated case management tools risk falling behind. Discover how AI is transforming litigation processes and giving firms a competitive edge.
To take home the Miss World crown, she’ll have to overcome some tough competition — and soar past another legal eagle, Chantal Raymond. We wish both contestants good luck. May the best woman win!
