Provisional magna carta • Rumor has it: Doc Yap made a list of clerk and intern rights back in 2010 • To be confirmed • May have overlap with existing guidelines, but repeated for emphasis of importance and ratification • My ideal idea (you can contest, suggest, complain to me) = we finish this by the second rotation, we all sign it, and presto!
