Brick Court publishes first episode of centenary podcasts

05/03/21

Brick Court Chambers has published the first episode in its series of programmes featuring past and present members of chambers in conversation, discussing their experience and experiences – in practice, on the bench and in all sorts of other places that a career in law has taken them.

In this first episode, Helen Davies QC talks to Sir Nicholas Green (Green LJ). Their wide-ranging discussion of life in practice, at Brick Court and beyond takes in:

the early days of “making” European law (Factortame and beyond) - “a period of enormous excitement”;
dealing with government, both as Chair of the Bar (the degree of access afforded vs influence achieved; dealing with increased regulation and the austerity budgets) and as Chair of the Law Commission - “the best job in the judiciary; pretty central to government” (dealing with Brexit and the logjam in government that brought);
the development and modernisation of chambers, and the experience of being Head of Chambers - “herding cats”;
the work life balance (“young lawyers need to get a life”).
