Lisa Roberts Q.C. makes the front page!

Chambers’ members were delighted to see Lisa Roberts QC on the front page of The Times today.

Lisa was one of the QCs invited to attend one of the most celebrated days in the legal calendar of England and Wales – the Opening of the Legal Year.

The Bar Council, in conjunction with The Law Society, took part in this ceremonial occasion on Monday 3rd October.

The day opened with a service at Westminster Abbey which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Justice, president and justices of the Supreme Court, as well as other judges and senior members of the profession. The service was followed by a reception in Westminster Hall.

The event commemorates the principles of defending access to justice and the rule of law. Furthermore, it reminds all of those actively involved within the legal system of the need to uphold these principles internationally, as well as at home, for the benefit of society.
