My family is peppered with lawyers. Many of us read law, some going on to practice it, others not. Those non-practitioners may have lost touch with the niceties of changing legislation, but an eye for justice – or the lack of it – remains sharply focused.
When I was enjoying a family BBQ in Clapham a short time ago – we were celebrating that fact that my niece had just graduated from carrying a judge’s bag around for him, to getting a place in chambers to continue her training to be a barrister – I wanted to hear from my brother-in-law and my sister about how their practices were going.
