well done us! formiddable defence squad 🤛 really enjoyed having not 1 but 2 colleagues co-defending,no conflict between our 3’s cases so was great to collaborate and really play on our differing strengths to achieve the amazing full house acquittals #cruciblelaw #criminallaw

A day of mixed abilities,on the 1 hand, had unexpected compliments from HHJ +several co def counsel on my closing speech,compared with 👇..made by me earlier,for them to try-(joint effort to master art of baking+decorating!),i was 0.5 of the baking duo,genuinely tried so hard!😂

This was such a sad example of a Trust laying blame at the door of good,caring Midwives rather than acknowledge the systemic failings of their departments.. absolute right result, a vindication years in the making-also great working alongside a colleague - Laura H😊#cruciblelaw

I mean.. it says it all right??? 😩#legalaidlaw #criminalbarrister

So.. i did a thing last week 🤓amazing result:6 counts, full house not guilty verdicts after 3 week trial. At times felt like we had2 Prosecutors in court with some judicial overstepping! but great Defence team and the right outcome! #cruciblelaw #criminallaw #legalaidbarrister

It was always clear that without a plan to sustain the publicly funded criminal Bar there would come a time when there would be insufficient numbers of barristers to prosecute and defend and fewer young barristers entering the profession to maintain it. Chair Tana Adkin KC,
