Barrister's powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge

Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action's proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny

Sir Nikhilesh Dutta (born January 5, 1939) is a Bangladeshi #barrister who was #calledToTheBar as a Member of the Honourable Society of the #InnerTemple, #London, England. For his contribution in promoting inter-religious harmony, he was conferred with a #knighthood as a #KnightBachelor by #QueenElizabethII in 2007. Dutta, with a legal practice in the #SupremeCourtOfBangladesh, was the first national who was called to the Bar as a barrister on 8 February 1972 from independent Bangladesh.

@alanferrier
That's when the details of the case emerged - 2003. The article is poorly written.
Badenoch echoes Trump in asserting that a #barrister who acts for their client is otherwise joined to that client or their activity.
They of course believe whatever their #client tells them (or must withdraw) but sometimes question whether anyone else could be persuaded of it.

Barristers regard the cab rank as a fundamental principle. I of course believe them, and also observe those who don't.

#women #law #misogyny #justice I doubt the people who really need to read this ever will. Wasn't #LINO #Starmer a junior #barrister?

‘Why do they dislike me so much?’: the trials, trolls and triumphs of Britain’s most divisive barrister

She has been called a ‘brave disruptor’ by campaigners and ‘rabid’ by internet critics. But for Charlotte Proudman, only one opinion matters: that of the women and children she defends in the family courts

#barrister representing #hamas shutting down #petercardwell with the cunning application of fact based reality.

It’s always interesting to see the #zionist #propaganda apparatus collapse in real time.

Say what you like about Hamas but I’m sure we can all agree that we should apply the law universally? Unless of course you’re a sock puppet for the empire that is.

Do I know any #English lawyers?

Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

When I look at US #politicians wearing their formal costumes, it reminds me of English #barrister's wearing gray wigs.

It is certainly not about respect. It is mostly about identity and conformity.
