Things you never imagined discussing in Court… (please add yours!)

Judge: Ms White, help me with this, what exactly is an ‘Only Fans’?

Me: Your Honour perhaps it may simply be best to say it is not something you should Google on your judicial laptop.

Old Bailey judge to my prosecuting pupil master (they had shared a room) :

J: The witness recalls that the defendant’s penis was blue
L: yes my Lord
J: have you ever seen a blue penis?
L: not personally my Lord but my pupil is a Royal Navy officer - perhaps he can assist

Lovely to be back teaching #mediation for @MediatorSociety with a full course @NormantonWest in Taunton: Zoom is a good teaching medium, and sometimes the best option, but working with a live group is special. Next course dates ... https://t.co/5NJNRwAmlE
