Courting trouble
I know many in the profession and, with the odd exception, I am underwhelmed by their intellectual gifts and am quite capable of taking care of myself in a debate. But a court is not a debating chamber, so I take great pains to avoid appearing there and I am even more leery of doing so after Ms Lawson’s deplorable experience. If a combative controversialist like me hesitates to face the barrister/advocate bully boys with one hand tied behind his back, what chance for some abused teenage girl?
