One reading

Bring one consequential file to the Bench.

A one-off reading is for the week when one decision matters: where to send the paper, whether the call is worth the work, how to answer the reviewer, or whether the position fits the file you have.

One-off readings are currently billed in Kenyan Shillings through Paystack. USD checkout can be enabled later for international users.
