I finished Do Right and Fear No One by @_lesliethomas this morning. Quite a journey he's had to get to where he is now. A brilliant read. Thanks for making me think.
@gardencourtlaw @_lesliethomas @thaliamaragh @GLAN_LAW @SREnvironment I am delighted to be instructed with my brilliant colleagues on this crucially important case in which the Privy Council will be asked to consider whether our brave clients should have standing to challenge the construction of a runway on Barbuda on environmental grounds.
#BlackHistoryMonth @_lesliethomas talks about his extensive #legalcareer tackling #racism, #discrimination & #policebrutality, with tips on becoming a successful #barrister in our #Talking Law #podcast: ow.ly/lqMC30sxmIa. Supported by @Wesleyan. #lawfirm #law @sallypenni1
@_lesliethomas In a South African case, S v Makwanyane [1995], Mr Justice Sachs quoted a scholar who summed up the #DealthPenalty in a single sentence: “Why sacrifice a second life for one already lost?”
@_lesliethomas Lord Gifford KC stated: “It encourages people to believe that violence & vengeance are proper responses to crime. In any system of justice, and especially in the under-resourced systems in our region, the innocent will be executed.”
@_lesliethomas @gardencourtlaw & Laura Profumo @DoughtyStreet round up important #inquest cases: lag.org.uk/?id=214514 Article 2 in healthcare cases; properly interested person status; RROs; notices under Inquiries Act s21; #Grenfell; right to be informed of potential harm
Dad would have been 53 today. Forever wanting that final cwtch & final pint with you. No doubt you are with Jamie tonight having banter about the upcoming football season. Look after each other up there, as you both looked after us all down here. To the Captain - I love you x
Proud of our @DebatINQUEST, who has been celebrated with an honorary doctorate from @Uni_of_Essex Dr Deb (as we will now call her in every meeting) is a leader who never compromises on her strong values. She shared her wisdom with graduates, including the message: be bold ⬇️
'We all have and young people, in particular, have an opportunity to be bold...and help us all move forward in search of a more just and equal society.' @DebatINQUEST - leader of the influential human rights charity INQUEST - became an #HonoraryGraduate at this #EssexGraduation
Women who express views on this site are too often subjected to disgusting abuse and relentless misogyny. It is possible to disagree with @DrProudman without being abusive…too many barristers have failed to achieve this. The abuse of women with opinions has to stop.
As a female barrister advocating on behalf of victims of male violence, I've faced misogyny & threats from barristers. From being called a c*** to attempts to disbar me, they've thrown dozens of complaints my way. I won't be silenced. I am speaking up to advocate for change 🪡
