How about F.E. Smith? Sir Edward Carson? That sort. Basically any of the long-running Attorney-Generals?

One that springs instantly to mind is the wonderful silly Donald Findlay QC, apparently the best-paid advocate in Scotland at the moment. He's very well known up here.

Cherie Blair? Geoffrey Robertson? Eleanor Sharpeston? William Birkett Rumpole of course.

And indeed those who have been Barristers (although not famous for being so): Tony Blair, Michael Howard etc etc

Yep. Good old Cherie:rolleyes:

Good lord, I wonder how that woman can be taken seriously in court.

Dont foger Kavanagh QC lol:rolleyes:


Whilst he's fictitious, I hold Kavanagh, both the character and the series as a whole, a lot more highly than Judge John Deed. Have yet to see Rumpole though.

Um when enjoying my Friday pub lunch in our university bar I could not help observing that the Daily Express (or was it mail?) had given her a 5/5 in the embarrassing parent article. :redface: Not that I read such rubbish frequently (of course)

I've read her biography, and I thought she came across as a serious and kind person.

Lord Denning was pretty well-known, Lord Woolf, wasn't Gandhi a Lawyer?

My family said they make fun of me if I bought it, plus autobiographies/biographies usually end up reduced at value books shops - I'll acquire it then :cool:

I believe it is self-written so I must apologise for referring to it as a biography before :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :tsr2: (sorry was not paying enough attention to the treasured book)
