What was your worst experience as a trainee?

Going in front of a Judge in Chambers and feeling very embarrassed but unable to stop talking!

If you weren’t a lawyer what would you have been?

I worked for several years as a primary school teacher in London but this was not my vocation. I would love to have been a writer of Detective/Crime fiction.

Alex Ferguson – his incessant chewing of gum is very irritating and the conversation would be dull.
