I really recommend getting involved in this scheme - I found it so helpful throughout my pupillage

A week ago I received a phone call offering me tenancy. On Monday, I formally accepted. I am over the moon that I get to join Fenners as a tenant - I’ve not stopped grinning!

I had the opportunity to go back to UEA Law School earlier this week to participate in a panel event about the Bar. I was thrilled to see so many students attending and, once I got over the surreal feeling of being on the other side the lecture theatre, had a fantastic time

Solid start back to work this morning when I forgot my purse and Apple Pay wouldn’t work on the car parking meter. Very grateful for the complete stranger who came over and paid it for me

Always great to be back at UEA

Yesterday I had my busiest day yet in the Crown Court and it felt fitting to mark a year on my feet!

After two weeks in pjs thanks to Covid, putting my wig and gown on (even if it was to sit in my house) was a bit of a shock to the system this morning

Barristers, we need your help. Link to volunteer here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #BTBAcademy

The phone call you don’t want at 2:45 on a Friday is that your client has been picked up for breach of bail and you need to be at the court in 15 mins. And just when I thought all my Attendance notes for the week were done 🤦🏼‍♀️

First proper week off since I started pupillage starts now ✈️

Yesterday, I successfully completed my first jury trial!! I’d been saving this bottle since January as I was determined I’d do one this year. It’s now open!

Returned home from Christmas to find I’ve got no WiFi and 2-3 days until and engineer can come out. This just means I go back to eating cheese instead of work, right?

When I was in the Mags Court every day, this baby of a book carried me through all my battles. I’ve been asked to spread the word that you can get this from 28th March below with 30% off using code ALAUTHC4 - might be handy for pupils & junior tenants❤️ global.oup.com/academic/produ…

Thrilled that Fenners Chambers was awarded Best Criminal Team at the Cambridge Law Society Awards on Friday evening and our fantastic clerk was recognised as highly commended for Best Support Staff!

It may have been 2.5 years since I was Called to the Bar, but I finally got to celebrate yesterday at Middle Temple. So much has changed in that time, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the opportunities I have been presented with.

Congratulations to our firm award winners! #LegalExcellenceAwards2023 Firm of the Year: Ashtons Legal LLP Criminal Law Team of the Year: Fenners Chambers Intellectual Property/IT Team of the Year: J A Kemp Litigation Team of the Year: Slater and Gordon Lawyers (UK)

A rare occasion where my walk to Court was both in daylight and the sun

I had the pleasure of being taught Trial Advocacy by Judge Carroll. He was adamant I would pursue a career at the Bar from the first time we spoke, at which point I didn’t intend to do so. He was a driving force behind my career choice and I’m eternally grateful for his guidance

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Bar Mess are hosting a dinner at Christ's College for members of the Bar and Judges (past and present) (of all disciplines) who practice within the local area on 6 September 2024. RSVPs can be made directly to me.
