“A leading human rights barrister has won his appeal against contempt of court proceedings, which were levelled at him for a closing speech in the trial of Palestine Action activists.

The court of appeal’s ruling on Tuesday in the case of Rajiv Menon KC comes as it has also emerged that four of the defendants found guilty in a retrial can be sentenced as terrorists”

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

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.
