    Appellate Advocacy - New Challenges

    THE DENNING LAW JOURNAL APPELLATE ADVOCACY - NEW CHALLENGES THE DAME ANN EBSWORTH MEMORIAL LECTURE LONDON, TUESDAY 21 FEBRUARY 2006 The Hon Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG* DAME ANN EBSWORTH REMEMBERED This lecture honours Dame Ann Ebsworth who died in 2002 of cancer. She was but sixty-four years of age.1 As I am the inaugural lecturer, I will record some personal facts, although her memory will be green for her friends, many of whom have come to this lecture to remember her and to celebrate her life. Ann Ebsworth was born on 19 May 1937. Her father was an officer in the Royal Marines. She was raised a Roman Catholic and derived from her religion and her parents strong convictions and a sense of public service. She read history at the University of London where she was known as a formidable debater. In 1962 she was called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn. Her practice, which was in Liverpool, was predominantly criminal with some family work (which increased) and some civil work (which diminished). She rose to be head of her chambers. She was known as a considerable opponent, particularly in criminal cases. She was described as an “… effective and formidable advocate, thorough in preparation, lucid and courteous in style and entirely unflappable.”2 In 1987 she was appointed to the Northern Circuit Bench. It was at that time that she first met Brenda Hale who had begun training to be an Assistant Recorder in Liverpool. Baroness Hale has told of how thoroughly intimidated she felt, especially because of the daunting experience of lunching with the other judges at St George’s Hall.

    Lady Hale at the 2018 Pankhurst Lecture, University of Manchester

    2018 – A Year of Anniversaries The 2018 Pankhurst Lecture, University of Manchester Lady Hale, President of The Supreme Court 8 February 2018 2018 marks the anniversary of some very important dates in the history of women’s participation in public life. We all know that 2018 is the 100th anniversary of women getting the vote, although not on same terms as men. Most of us probably know that it is also the 100th anniversary of women getting the right to stand as candidates and be elected to Parliament, this time on the same terms as men. Why the difference? I believe that there were two reasons why only some women got the vote. One was that the same Act of Parliament gave the vote to all men, irrespective of whether they had any property. Giving the vote effectively only to middle class women – those who either had property of their own or were married to men who did or who had University degrees – softened the effect of enfranchising the working-class men. Another was that in 1918, because of the slaughter of the First World War, there were more many more adult women than there were adult men – allowing them to vote on equal terms would have meant that they were in a majority. But there was no risk that more women than men would be elected to Parliament – the whole idea was laughable – so equality there would do no harm. Voting equality was achieved ten years later, in 1928. So we should celebrate 2018 as the 90th anniversary of women getting the 1 right to vote on equal terms with men and have an even bigger celebration in ten years’ time.

    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • Student Days at the Inns of Court

    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.

    Is a Place on the Bench for You? the Basics of Becoming a Bencher …

    Is a place on the Bench for you? The Basics of Becoming a Bencher …. Several BACFI members are Benchers of their respective Inns. As such we thought that BACFI members, employed and self-employed barristers alike, might like to know a little more about the historic origins of this process, and how the modern day Bencher Application process works at each Inn of Court. The Inns are very supportive of nominations and applications from Employed Barristers. As a result of this article we hope that Employed Barristers in particular wish to be Benchers. What is a Bencher? Benchers provide the governance of each of the separate Inns of Court. They are primarily comprised of Judges, QCs and Barristers, self-employed and employed, and are individuals of significant standing and/or who have made a major contribution to the work and life of their Inn. The name comes from when the most senior barristers were permitted to sit on the bench at moots. This class of barristers became known as "Benchers" or "Masters of the Bench". Currently, after being successfully elected, a Bencher receives “voice and vote” meaning that they can both speak at the highest level of meetings of Benchers and also vote and receive papers on matters that need to be decided by the Inn. What do Benchers do? Benchers, as part of the decision making structure of the Inns of Court, will be involved in the governance of the Inn (which includes all issues related to the Inn including education, training, the library, finances, admittance of student members, election of other Benchers, dining and social occasions and other issues, such as advertising).

EDMUND PLOWDEN' MASTER TREASURER OF THE MIDDLE TEMPLE (1561-1570) RICHARD O'SULLIVAN D ENUO SURREXIT DOMUS: the Latin inscription high on the outside wall of this stately building announces and records the fact that in the year 1949, under the hand of our Royal Treasurer, Elizabeth the Queen, the Hall of the Middle Temple rose again and became once more the centre of our professional life and aspiration. 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.

Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, K.C., M.P., London, England A TTHE present day there are many eminent lawyers who have received a part, perhaps the greater part, of their legal grounding at Oxford or Cambridge or other universities, but there was a time when no legal teaching of any consequence, except in Canon and Roman law, was obtainable anywhere outside the Inns of Court. Sir Wm. Blackstone called them "Our Judicial Univer- sity." In them were taught and trained the barristers and the judges who molded and developed the common law and the principles of equity. The Inns were not in earlier times, as they are now, inhabited merely during the daytime by lawyers and students who dispersed in all directions to their homes every night.
