    Rake and Rumpole – mavericks for justice: Purity and impurity in legal professionalism Author Flood, John Published 2020 Book Title Law, Lawyers and Justice: Through Australian Lenses Version Submitted Manuscript (SM) DOI https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429288128-11 Copyright Statement © 2020 Taylor & Francis. This is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge in Law, Lawyers and Justice: Through Australian Lenses on 1 April 2020, available online: https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429288128-11 Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/399605 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Rake and Rumpole: Mavericks for Justice—Purity and Impurity in Legal Professionalism John Flood Abstract TV shows and films about law and lawyers are hugely successful. During its heyday in the late 20th century Rumpole of the Bailey drew 10 million viewers and was watched worldwide. Law programs are often the only source of knowledge about law for many people. The shows play on the themes of right and wrong, justice and injustice, usually through the medium of the adversarial court process. The two shows compared here, Rake and Rumpole, are emblematic of the legal themes emerging in popular legal culture. I have borrowed from Mary Douglas’ Purity and Danger the idea that symbolic and professional culture of the Bar is diverse. Both Cleaver Greene and Horace Rumpole in their lives and professional practices express this diversity. Rumpole represents an essentially Whiggish ideal of the Bar and English society while Greene rampages through a Benthamite Australian ideal rejecting authority. The chapter also includes reflections on professionalism and women in law.

Teaching Advocacy with History and in Context. Andrew Watson1. It has been said that students faced with greater expenses than before of attending university are choosing, with an eye to their future, to study law courses which have a vocational element. At universities there has been a growth of courses which introduce students to advocacy in simulated court cases, and in clinical legal education, often involving, representing real clients before various tribunals under supervision2. Students are taught practical skills of advocacy. These courses are generally well received by students, often provide them with confidence and may well lead some to qualify as lawyers3. It is submitted that students’ appreciation and knowledge of courtroom advocacy could be further enhanced by adding study about what has shaped it and what is doing so now: The writer, having comparatively recently completed a PhD on the subject 4, is convinced that the story of advocacy deserves being told wider.

  • Morland J Valediction.Pdf
    Valediction to Mr Justice Morland 15 July 2004 Mr Desmond Browne QC: On behalf of all those practising in the defamation field, I am here to record our real sorrow at your departure, as well as to express our very best wishes for a long and happy retirement. Quite why I should have been chosen is not entirely clear: after all, it was your Lordship who once said that Mr Browne’s “I’ll only be a little bit longer”s were quite a lot longer than other people’s. Perhaps someone in the Court of Appeal Criminal Division thought it appropriate to pick a member of the Bar likely to take every point that could possibly be made on your behalf. It is on occasions like these that Her Majesty’s Judges come closest to dying and going to heaven, since it is the only time they catch even a hint of the contents of their obituaries. And of course, the same motto is supposed to apply: nihil nisi bunkum. Naturally in what follows I shall be speaking the truth; but I have to confess that biographical detail has not been easy to come by: Why is it that your Lordship works so hard that he has no recreations, or none that can be disclosed to the readers of Who’s Who ? Why is that such a clubbable man should belong to no clubs ? What exactly are the qualities of stoicism in your make-up, born of an education at the same establishment as that distinguished libel winner, Sir Richard Branson ? What were the heroic qualities of your national service which make Alexander, Hercules, Hector, Lysander and such great names as these seem inferior to a British Grenadier ? Unfortunately I can throw no light on these questions, and precious little more on your career at the Bar.
