Hope all goes well @emmaleechristie you will always be a valued member of the @GovernmentLegal alumni. And we will keep in touch at @lincolnsinn. I know you will be a great ambassador for GLD.
This week was my last week as a barrister at the Government Legal Department - a very strange feeling. I had an excellent two years of training at the GLD, but I am looking forward to the challenge of starting self employment at the 36 Group (Public Law and Human Rights team)

Privileged to witness such an historic occasion. Very moving.
Yesterday for the first time a female Lady Chief Justice swore in a female Lord Chancellor (officiated by a female Clerk of the Crown). History.
