Michaelmas 2012 The Middle Templar The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Issue 52 Michaelmas 2012 Middle Temple Officers 2012 Introduction Treasurer The Rt Hon The Lord Clarke of Stone-cum-Ebony After a year in post as Under Treasurer, it strikes me that two of the key qualities that Deputy Treasurer characterise Middle Temple are its open- Christopher Symons QC mindedness and its adaptability. This issue of The Middle Templar demonstrates these Deputy Treasurer Elect qualities in abundance: in 2012, the Library The Rt Hon The Lord Judge, hosted a Victorian banquet; Hall became a Lord Chief Justice theatre in the round; and Fountain Court was transformed into a Belgian Cycling Lent Reader Paradise. Like other ancient organisations – and indeed the profession Marilynne Morgan CB we represent – we will survive and thrive if we are able to adapt to face new challenges, and we have certainly shown this year that we Autumn Reader can metamorphose with the requirements of the day. Michael Crystal QC The Inn's willingness to adapt has shown itself of late not only by the Director of transformation of its physical space, but also by its ability to be self- Middle Temple Advocacy critical and open to new ways of thinking. The current review of our Derek Wood CBE QC governance, with its proposals to sharpen our focus and put greater emphasis on our core purposes, effective decision-making and Master of the Archive planning for the future, provides a good example of this. Michael Ashe QC Another prompt for serious reflection has been the sweeping review Masters of the Garden of legal education and training, currently being carried out by the legal regulators of England and Wales. As education is right at the heart Stephen Lloyd Esq The Hon Mrs Justice Judith Parker of the Inn and one of the core purposes expressed by our Charter, this review has a very special significance. Some have voiced pessimism, since the review has raised questions about the independence of the Master of the House Bar itself; but the process has in fact provided a useful backdrop to Anthony Boswood QC our thinking about the professional development needs of our members and the range of courses we might offer in future – both Master of the Moots pre- and post-Call. In this context, we have recently carried out our Richard Wilmot-Smith QC first members' survey to find out what Middle Templars would like from their Inn. We had an excellent response on subjects as diverse Master of the Music as training, library, and catering provision, and we look forward to Sir Stanley Burnton using the feedback to help us develop our member services in future.

They recommended that it needed significant Lady (Rosemary) Clarke and Lord Clarke but not radical overhaul. In particular, they concluded that a clearer line should be drawn between the role of the executive, led by the Under Treasurer, and the role of Benchers through what has become a complex committee structure with Parliament at its apex. They prepared a detailed paper. The Deputy Treasurer, Master Symons, and I were quickly converted. In short, their point is that it is the role of the executive to manage the Inn and the role of the Benchers, through various standing committees and Parliament, to determine policy, and that this distinction has become lost in the plethora of committees which we have at present.

  • Michael D. Weinstein, Esquire 2015 Pegasus Scholar Report
    REPORT OF PEGASUS SCHOLAR Michael D. Weinstein, Esquire 2015 Pegasus Scholar Report For six weeks in spring 2015, my life seemed surreal. I spent my days walking through the august halls of some of the world’s most historic courthouses, marveling at the majestic architecture around me. I worked in an office that overlooked a one‐thousand‐year‐old church still in use today. For lunch, I dined in the place where William Shakespeare first unveiled Twelfth Night to the public. And I was regularly invited to visit High Court Judges, Court of Appeal Judges, even a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom. My days often ended on the rooftop of my flat overlooking the lively neighborhood of Kensington, a stone’s throw from Freddie Mercury’s old mansion, reflecting on this remarkable chapter of my life. For a young lawyer, curious about the world and the law, I can think of few experiences that can be as meaningful or memorable as the one I had as a Pegasus Scholar. This report details those six weeks I spent living and working in London. My co‐scholar and flatmate, Tyler Garrett, has submitted his own report that provides a peek into his remarkable experience as a Pegasus Scholar. While Tyler and I lived together and visited judicial chambers together, most of our days were spent apart, working in different barristers’ chambers. So although our experiences were similar in many ways, they were also very different. Tyler’s report provides a great overview of legal London, including: a description of the differences between solicitors and barristers, and an explanation of how they work together to obtain the best result for their mutual client; how barristers’ chambers are organized; and the role of the English Inns of Court in fostering and promoting civility and professionalism in the practice of law.

  • The Inns of Court
    1 Dr Peter Sillitoe, ShaLT Collection Enhancement Report No. 20 for the V&A, Theatre and Performance Department (May 2013) The Inns of Court NB: Earlier, the ShaLT Collection Enhancement Reports have used the printed collections at the National Art Library (particularly the unique Dyce Collection) to highlight printed texts in terms of issues such as authorship and genre. However, bearing in mind that the key outreach goal of the AHRC funding for the project was to further public awareness about the actual theatre sites (The Theatre, Blackfriars, and so on) it seems highly appropriate for a series of reports to focus on the actual theatre spaces. Thus, this report highlights the Inns of Court. Indeed, it is envisaged that the T&P Department at the V&A might be able to host a small exhibition of Dyce material in terms of the actual Shakespearean London Playhouses. With this in mind, this report picks-out printed work at the V&A that links to the Inns of Court. This topic should prove interesting to visitors to a potential exhibition because often the title page is the only evidence we have for the performance of a play at a certain location. The Inns of Court were established for the training of London's lawyers. But in this period the students often organised and acted in plays and masques at winter festival times at the Inn’s hall. Indeed, the Inns of Court still are London’s premier colleges for the training of lawyers (barristers and judges). In the Shakespearean period the four locations were sometimes referred to as ‘the third university’ after Oxford and Cambridge, since the young men who studied to qualify in the law - often wealthy and socially well-connected - occupied these elite spaces.

  • Padfield Wonders Aloud (Do Contact Me on [email protected])
    University of Leeds Centre for Criminal Justice Studies Justice in the Criminal Courts in the 21st Century What are criminal courts for? Nicky Padfield wonders aloud (do contact me on [email protected]) VERY VERY DRAFT Introduction I am taking the opportunity as the first speaker at this conference to raise some big and/or broad questions. The paper is not as developed as I would like: I shall dig more into history, theory, law and practice in due course. But, in essence, my argument is that this big picture allows us to remember important principles. Many of the speakers who follow will focus on individual aspects of the trial process, often presenting original empirical research. Here I go back to basics. What is a trial? A public process which compels defendants to answer a charge of criminal wrongdoing. The outcome is often a serious sanction. Obviously, trials have to be fair. That does not simply mean they should not be unfair. Should we focus on ways in which public courts can promote fairness and justice, and indeed social cohesion? Swift justice has merits, but does not necessarily achieve just outcomes. Non-public ‗diversion‘ is equally dangerous. I will briefly raise some of the criminological literature on compliance, legitimacy and desistance – but speak up also for human rights and the rule of law - a big agenda! History For the purpose of this paper, I took as my starting point a series of riot trials, at three different moments in English history. Serendipitously, when the riots of 2011 were still recent, I happened upon a book called the Report of the Trials for Rioting at Ely and Littleport, 1816 (Warren, ed, 1997).

  • Student Days at the Inns of Court
    STUDENT DAYS AT THE INNS OF COURT.* Fortescue tells us that when King John fixed the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, the professors of the municipal law who heretofore had been scattered about the kingdom formed themselves into an aggregate body "wholly addicted to the study of the law." This body, having been excluded from Oxford and Cambridge where the civil and canon laws alone were taught, found it necessary to establish a university of its own. This it did by purchasing at various times certain houses between the City of Westminster, where the King's courts were held, and the City of London, where they could obtain their provisions. The nearest of these institutions to the City of London was the Temple. Passing through Ludgate, one came to the bridge over the Fleet Brook and continued down Fleet Street a short distance to Temple Bar where were the Middle, Inner and Outer Temples. The grounds of the Temples reached to the bank of the Thames and the barges of royalty were not infrequently seen drawn up to the landing, when kings and queens would honor the Inns with their presence at some of the elaborate revels. For at Westminster was also the Royal Palace and the Abbey, and the Thames was an easy highway from the market houses and busi- ness offices of London to the royal city of Westminster. Passage on land was a far different matter and at first only the clergy dared risk living beyond the gates, and then only in strongly-walled dwellings. St.

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

To those who early in the war had seen the destruction of these walls and the shattering of the screen and the disappearance of the Minstrels' Gallery; and to those who saw the timbers of the roof ablaze upon a certain -midnight in March 1944, the restoration of Domus must seem something of a miracle. All these things naturally link our thought with the work and the memory of Edmund Plowden who, in the reign of an earlier Queen Elizabeth, devoted his years as Treasurer and as Master of the House to the building of this noble Hall.
