Had a mock appellate oral argument today in front of the TAs and, while I’m not a lawyer yet, I’m pretty certain that real judges would at least let you finish your opening sentence before unrelentingly peppering you with questions about an argument you haven’t made yet.

Family Court names expert who only "skimmed" the paperwork

A Family Court judge has decided to name an expert witness who did not want to be identified due to the multiple shortcomings in the evidence he gave about the death of a two-year-old girl.

So many people have asked me if my husband has stopped making his resin boards. Two kids and DIY chores saw a hiatus but he's back with this beast of a board. The wood and green are stunning together. #TheCraftsmanCrafts

Pro bono work taught me how to advocate, how to give my clients a voice, and how to be a lawyer. Although no substitute for legal aid, it is fundamental to our justice system & now sadly needed more than ever. Read my op-ed for the @lawsocgazette marking Pro Bono Week here ⬇️

Deirdre Fottrell KC (4PB), leading @Andrew_Powell1 (4PB) and Tom Wilson (@1GCFamilyLaw), represented the applicant in G v Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority & Anor [2024] EWHC 2453 (Fam) before the President of the Family Division. The case concerned the applicant’s (‘G’) application for a declaration that the posthumous use of her daughter’s (‘N’) gametes in a surrogacy arrangement was lawful, in circumstances where no written consent was provided by N for posthumous use of her gametes. The application was refused. Deirdre, Andrew, and Tom were instructed by Louisa Ghevaert of Louisa Ghevaert Associates Ltd.
