With just over 350 senior clerks and around 1,200 junior clerks in the UK, the job of a Barristers’ clerk was traditionally dominated by wide-boys from Essex, who followed their father into the role and worked their way up from trundling trollies to Court, to sometimes earning more than the Barristers they worked for. As the rest of the legal landscape is changing, the job of the clerk is evolving, becoming increasingly professional and, like the Bar, slowly more diverse. But what do they do and how do you become one? Do not miss out on listening to this episode, in which Hatti Suvari and senior clerk and Chambers Director at 23 Essex Street Chambers, Wayne King, bring you this unique, insightful and the first of it's kind episode! Wayne bares all about this unique profession, discussing his journey of how he became a Barrister's clerk, what it is like working in this unique area of the law and why it is so pivotal to our legal system.#barristersclerk #clerking #chambers #legallearning #getlegallyspeaking.
Senior barrister John Riley from 23 Essex Street Chambers in London, and Hatti Suvari discuss what is meant by 'Myths in Criminal Law' and 'Special Measures in Court', the most common myths in criminal law, such as the misconception that most rapes take place with strangers, and what the differences are between the terms 'victim' and 'complainant'. Also discussed, is what is meant by a 'intermediary person', how special measures in Court can assist vulnerable people, if a defendant can apply to have special measures in Court, and when special measures were introduced by the Courts. A very informative discussion on this interesting area of law, which includes key facts from the Government. #myths #criminallaw #misconception #victim #intermediaryperson #specialmeasures #specialmeasuresincourt #complainant #criminalcourt
I’m joined today by Rina Bailey. Rina is a criminal barrister at 23 Essex Street Chambers in London and the founder of Dotty’s Oils, a business that educates and promotes health and wellbeing through the use of essential oils and natural products. What’s unique about Rina is how she transformed an interest in her own personal wellbeing into a business, after feeling burned-out from her work as a barrister - and, together with her mother, they aim to help their client’s achieve a more balanced lifestyle too. And be sure to listen to the end, where Rina describes some of the challenges she faced in her career journey, and how working hard and employing a “can do” mindset really helped her achieve her goals. So whether you’re interested in knowing more about what it takes to become a criminal barrister, or would like to know more about how essential oils can help with your personal wellbeing, then I hope you enjoy this episode of the Inside Kingston™ podcast. ~ LINKS & RESOURCES ~ Dotty's Oils - Website Rina Bailey - LinkedIn ~ YOUR HOST ~ Hi, I'm Amyr Rocha-Lima.
