@HudsonLottie My Mum got it framed!

Knocked sideways by this afternoon’s news. Privileged to meet Her Majesty in 2014, a day I will never forget. A wonderful Queen who will be deeply missed. Can’t quite get my brain round the fact I am now KC having been QC for 11 years. God save the King.

[Charlotte Hudson 💙 @HudsonLottie]

@AtkinsQC ...and here is that moment. Was so proud to capture you both.

@MAMBarLife Wish I had gone for the drip dry gown though!

[St Philips Chambers @stphilips]

Rather than send out Christmas cards or gifts this year members of Chambers and staff were delighted to be in a position to deliver much-needed supplies to Erdington food bank this afternoon.

How do you anticipate the proposed return to in person hearings after the pandemic will impact your career at the Bar?

[Richard Atkins KC @AtkinsQC]

@Barrister7 @Familoo It’s not the same without you!

[Richard Atkins KC @AtkinsQC]

@JoanneCecil @twklex @ishkolhatkar @jaimerh354 @NECircuitleader @MaltonTom @CrimeGirI We don’t ask the question.

Glad to see the Criminal Justice Inspectors adding their weight to the concerns over the backlog in our criminal courts. ⁦@thebarcouncil⁩ and I were raising this back in pre-Covid mid 2019. Unsurprisingly it hasn’t got any better. https://t.co/MWqLYuxD48

[The Bar Council @thebarcouncil]

Chair of the Bar, Derek Sweeting QC, tells @CommonsJustice Covid Operating Hours are "a dead end, not necessary & should be abandoned. They'll have a discriminatory effect."
