32 YEARS AGO, I decided to change my career from being a quantity surveyor to being a barrister. After reading law for 2 years, followed by 1 year at Bar School in London, I was Called to the Bar on the anniversary of today, 29 years ago.
ON THE WHOLE, it has been an enjoyable journey, which I would encourage any budding barrister to embark on. It is tough with extremely long hours and tonnes of reading, but rewarding, especially when one has made a significant difference to someone’s life. A lot has happened since that memorable day at Middle Temple Hall on 10 October 1996. The two people who accompanied me that day – my mother and Sue – are no longer present on this Earth 🌍 physically but are with me, as always, in spirit.
AFTER MANY cases, published articles, books, media appearances, interviews and videos, I enter my 30th year in this profession with, hopefully, all being well, more of the same. Until then…
