Great to attend the FLBA Annual Conference in Leeds this weekend, excellent range of talks and useful to hear about the latest developments across different practice areas and on what’s to come for Family Justice @ThreeDJB
Lovely to be back at my old stomping ground, City Uni, yesterday to discuss mooting and advocacy. Well done to the committee for organising the event and providing mooting opportunities to the next generation of lawyers 💫@ThreeDJB

Thank you, Emily & Amy, for a very helpful, current and well received seminar on ‘How to Make Appeals Appealing’
Glad to get across the finish line #LLHM ! Thank you very much to those who have helped with my fundraising effort, which remains open: uk.virginmoneygiving.com/Eli… Advocate provides a much needed service, often for society’s most vulnerable, and it was a pleasure to run for them

Coming home from Chambers today and couldn’t help but be struck by the size of the protest. Seemed to stretch all the way down Whitehall at this point and many walking/milling in nearby streets.

A pleasure to be involved as a judge in the (virtual) Monroe Cup Debating Comp today - not so long ago I was participating in these comps as a student. They are vitally important to build confidence and advocacy skills. Excellent work by the organising team @MTStudents

Thought provoking panel discussion #Ftweekendfestival look forward to reading your book @Sathnam
Important and thought provoking discussion on cancel culture #FTWeekendFestival
Agreed. Not to mention the difficulties in taking instructions from/giving advice to vulnerable clients over a bad phone line.
Replying to @LauraWakeford2
The courts are under immense pressure. This is an unprecedented situation but remote hearings simply cannot continue once this pandemic has passed.

Panel advice; social media is a useful tool as a junior but be professional, a phone call to the solicitor is often better than email when addressing a mistake/difficult issue, modern clients ask after Chambers’ fair work and equal opportunities policies #BarConf @thebarcouncil – at Camden Town, London

Panel discussion touching on differences in approach, and the interaction between, the criminal and family justice system. Focus on vulnerable and child witnesses, expert witnesses and disclosure #BarConf @thebarcouncil – at Camden Town, London
Great #OpenFuture event, particularly engaging was the panel on activism with live cross to Hong Kong @joshuawongcf ‘the outcome of the protests will determine whether HK is known as a global financial centre or simply a financial city under the hardline rule of President Xi’ – at Manchester, England
