In 2018, the Secret Barrister was named Legal Personality of The Year at the Law Society Awards. In 20, the Secret Barrister was named Independent Blogger of the Year at the Editorial Intelligence Comment Awards. The Secret Barrister has written for the The Times, The Guardian, New Statesman, iNews, Standpoint, Esquire, Counsel Magazine and Solicitors Journal, and is regularly quoted across print and broadcast media, including BBC News, Channel 4 News, The Sun, The Mirror, the Daily Mail, the Huffington Post and the Evening Standard. It also tries to help to demystify and debunk some of the stranger or more controversial legal stories that make it into the news. This blog aims to bridge that gap by providing a candid, and hopefully accessible, explanation of our criminal justice system, of how it works, and of how, all too often, it doesn’t. The law can often feel to the public like an alien and impenetrable world, linked to everyday life only by selective news reportage and artistically-licensed tv dramatisation. The Secret Barrister is a junior barrister specialising in criminal law, and part-time author and blogger.
