Today we’re at #PupillageFairNorth - opened by Jason Pitter KC. Come and see us on the Bar Council stand. Vice Chair of the Bar Barbara Mills KC: “To the aspiring barristers here today, I encourage you to be bold… and back yourself.” @ne_circuit @CircuitNorth

Delighted to congratulate District Judge Richards on her appointment. We will miss her in Chambers but no doubt regularly see her in court.

At our meeting last night Chambers were delighted to offer our current pupils Elisha Marsay and Cole Cockburn tenancy upon completion of their Pupillage. Both have accepted.
Rebecca Brown has been instructed on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute two defendants charged with criminal damage to the Sycamore Gap tree, and part of Hadrian’s Wall.

As we start this week we at least now have emails up and running. Still
No access to our own case management system and temporarily unable to access DCS. Thanks again for the patience and help of our clients.
And yet again we are sad to report. Really disappointed by the lack of information we are being given about when we can expect to be back up and running which means we are struggling to update our colleagues and clients.

This is what has been affecting us - and still is affecting us this week! Glad it hasn’t downed our phone lines but the impact has been dreadful and the catchup for the clerks will be hard work too. Thanks to everyone helping us get through.
