I’m on the lookout for barristers that could give up 40 minutes 1310-1350 on one day over next 2 weeks to train a pair of students in public speaking online for @KalisherTrust. No prep required. If you could help please DM me asap.

We were delighted to welcome a delegation from UNICEF Türkiye, the Union of Turkish Bar Associations (UTBA), and the Turkish Ministry of Justice to Chambers earlier this week as part of their UK Study Visit under the “ÇABA Project”. The visit was part of a three-day programme (3–5 November) to identify best practices to strengthen child-friendly legal services in Türkiye.
Charles Hale KC (@twitbarrister) received the delegation on behalf of The Bar Council of England and Wales (@thebarcounci), in his capacity as Vice Chair of the International Committee of the Bar Council.
During the visit, @FrankieShama and @James_Netto28 (@iFLGUK) delivered a presentation on the representation of children and their interests in family proceedings, including the role of Cafcass and the Children’s Guardian system.
Yaa Dankwa Ampadu-Sackey (@ydankwa) presented on the Family Law Bar Association’s (@FamilyLawBar) role in lawyers’ professional development and its involvement in providing legal services in children’s cases.

I had a fantastic time at @DrProudman’s book launch! The discussions were incredibly insightful, and the company was just outstanding. I’m so grateful to have been part of such a vibrant gathering. I can't wait to keep the conversation going! @PatsyeStevenson

Not everyone is meant to grow with you. Some relationships only survive at your lowest levels because they were built on comfort, not growth—on familiarity, not foundation. As you rise, you’ll lose people—not because you let go, but because they were never built to hold on.

Looking forward to visiting @Cambridge_Uni on 8th February 2025 for the @middletemple careers session. Presentation by barristers & judges at 5pm-6pm followed by drinks & nibbles from 6pm-7pm. At @ClareCollege
If you are at Cambridge & interested in the Bar, come & say “Hi”
As a family lawyer and a SEND and Family Mediator, I employ communication and empathy daily to assist my clients. I am therefore grateful to @FamilyLawBar for organising the ‘Therapeutic Skills for Lawyers’ Seminar. I look forward to learning and interacting with colleagues!

Reviewing CVs and pupillage gateway applications @thebarcouncil #PupillageFair2024 has been tiring and rewarding.
My highlight was meeting an aspiring barrister with this helpful note attached to her phone, constantly reminding her to be positive.
