The Barristers, part 1 - 2of6

This 4-part documentary from 2008 follows the progress of 4 law students on the thorny path to become fully-fledged barristers, as well as giving a glimpse into the work of already established barristers.
Barristers are a legal profession with a long tradition in the judicial system of England and Wales. Until fairly recently most barristers were often not directly contacted by clients but by solicitors on behalf of clients. But as some things in the profession this is slowly changing.

Ah ha ha...'a bling' thats actually quite a rumpole/uncle tom moment there...although I suppose the eccentric ways of the galavanting legal hack will probably die out too before long as everyone gets more 'specilised' which I think is a real shame...I think there needs to be the odd bit of railing against windmills in the legal profession, as elsewhere, because you never know if there will be the odd giant hiding behind one.
