In this episode, Alma-Constance and Lucinda find out what a barrister does and talk to Derek Sweeting QC, President of the Bar Council 2021 who is now a High Court Judge in the Queen’s Bench Division and a Recorder in the Crown and County Courts.
We discuss:

the difference between a solicitor and a barrister
why some barristers wear wigs and gowns
why it is so important for the Bar to be independent and how that is related to the rule of law
why diversity at the Bar is essential for access to justice

Derek also tells us that when he was 10 years old he was really interested in science, loved reading science fiction and watching Star Trek!
