I feel strangely reluctant to start using KC. It’s the end of a reign that has spanned so much. I’m no Royalist but I have much respect for a dignified and dedicated life. And sadness for the loss of a female figurehead who showed such calm leadership.

It is with great excitement that we present to you Bridging the Bar The Academy.
An unparalleled programme. The first of its kind. For all underrepresented groups at the Bar.

#TheRealMoFarah so extraordinarily brave in his willingness to show the burden that he has borne and continues to bear as an exploited child.

Coming up on @BBCr4today #r4Today @TheCriminalBar vice chair @Kirsty_Brimelow discussing why, over the past 5 years, a quarter of specialist criminal barristers have walked away, and why they need more to keep them prosecuting and defending for the public.
