The Barristers (2008)
Saisons & Épisode
Birmingham divorce barrister Louise McCabe brokers a financial settlement while her colleagues in family law investigate a case of a child with a fractured skull. And the hard-up students have their first interviews for pupillage.
Hundreds of years of court tradition that made advocates independent of the state ended when the Crown Prosecution Service began employing its own barristers. It means less work and less money for the self-employed briefs who were used to a monopoly, but many believe it has caused a decline in standards and a risk to justice.
Assault and battery is the first crown court case for newly qualified barrister Kakoly Pande, and there is a judgement in the House of Lords after seven years. But can the Bar face up to its critics who say it is an elitist, out-dated and old fashioned club?
