On Monday, I gave my Inaugural Lecture as a Professor at King’s, to a generous audience of family, friends, professionals and the members of the public. A very special occasion and a career highlight. Thanks to all who came! (And thanks to our photographer Dominic!)

Above is my candidate statement, which has been circulated by the Society alongside that of the other nominee. If any members of the Society were willing to lend me their vote on that day after reading the statements, I would be very grateful. It would be an honour to serve.

Most court hearings I go to are very serious. Occasionally something very funny happens Top barrister submission today: “I don’t want to give character evidence on behalf of the dog, but having spent the last hour and a half with him, I can say he is a very well-behaved animal.”
