 {{a|people|}}To bring some rigour to the annual [[Awards]] season, the [[JC]] is pleased to announce the judging criteria for [[inhouse legal team of the year]] award.
-*'''timeliness of instructions''': How close to the magical 6pm deadline do they reliably leave it before dropping an “I need drafts first thing in the morning” instruction on their [[muggle]] counterparts
+*'''Timeliness of instructions''': How reliably close you can get to the magical Friday, 6pm deadline before dropping a “first rrequired by open of buisness tomorrow” instruction on your external advisors;
-*'''Can I speak to a partner please''':
+*'''Inexplicable delay''': For how many days you can leave draft whose immediate turnaround you signalled was as a matter of life and death, and which necessitated your legal team rearranging plans for the theatre, wedding anniversaries and so on, before deigning to look at the email.
+*'''Can I speak to a partner please''': the degree of disdain you show should junior members of the external team endeavour to answer your elementary questions about the draft they spent sixteen hours preparing;
+*'''Red-herring ninjadom''': How comprehensive and particular is your knowledge of the punctuation, typography, weight and leading of your employer’s legal name wherever it should appear in a prospectus;
+*'''Most pedantic mark-up''': outside the inherent pedantry of the [[red herring]], how prepared are you to make superficial amendments to perfectly sound legal drafting;
+*'''Throw the associate under the bus''': How shamelessly will you blame the most junior member of outside counsel team — the same one whose name you keep forgetting and whose legal assurances count for nothing in the “can I speak to a partner please” category — for neglecting to prepare and circulate “critical legal documentation” that has, in fact, been in your inbox since 4.30 am on the Saturday morning immediately following your request for it.
