(iii) Detailed legal documentation “anatomies”. These include hyperlinked versions of canonical legal terms, the JC’s own {{nutshell}} summaries of those terms, comparisons, summaries and in-depth discussion and analysis of common practical, commercial and legal issues. Also, longer (also often ham-fisted) essays on market history, market dislocations and catastrophic events, and how regulators and banking institutions have reacted to them or, in the JC’s unsolicited opinion, ''should'' have. This material draws on 30 year “school of life” experience as a practising lawyer in the international financial markets. This will make up the bulk of the premium content. | (iii) Detailed legal documentation “anatomies”.

It | It shouldn’t need to be said but, let’s say it: this is an information resource and not specific legal advice. Any reader uses it at {{sex|her}} own risk. These are strong opinions weakly held: they are personal, idiosyncratic, impatient, polemical and, surprise surprise, ''contrarian''. A good portion of them are probably ''wrong''. Like it’s author’s mind it will also change often, without warning or notice. Everything is always provisional. | ||
This material is, in other words, for discussion between peers. It is no tablet from Mount Sinai. It is meant for people who are engaged in specialist negotiation and advisory capacities, who will already have a basic technical grounding in these disciplines and who are experienced and sceptical enough to disagree with it. The [[JC]] makes no apologies for sticking two fingers up at conventional wisdom. Conventional wisdom is welcome to stick two fingers right back up at the JC. And often does. | This material is, in other words, for discussion between peers. It is no tablet from Mount Sinai.

There are a host of “push” resources out there: [[client bulletin]]s, newsletters, Twitter feeds and so one shunting discrete and unconnected “timely” information at you. There are few “pull” resources — deep, interconnected, nonlinear resources where the reader takes the material. Rather buy accident, the JC has become one. It gets a fairly regular flow of about 10,000 unique visitors every month. Beyond rough geographic data, which tells us the JC is very popular in places where people negotiate {{isdama}}s, we don’t know much about these people, other than that they too are interested in whether [[Africa|Kilimanjaro really rises above the Serengeti]]. | There are a host of “push” resources out there: [[client bulletin]]s, newsletters, Twitter feeds and so one shunting discrete and unconnected “timely” information at you.

As a premium subscriber you will help to fund technological improvements the site needs to grow and last, and to build out its content: better documentation of and a tidy-up to the coding to manage the technical back-end, which should make the whole thing more consistent. We would like to commission some help to build out premium content, making the site more comprehensive: as a premium subscriber you would benefit from that. We have some far-off, dreamy plans to create a customised offering for in-house teams, but that is a bit further off in the future. | As a premium subscriber you will help to fund technological improvements the site needs to grow and last, and to build out its content: better documentation of and a tidy-up to the coding to manage the technical back-end, which should make the whole thing more consistent.
