On Thursday 12th March, Mountford participated in the annual pupillage advocacy evening at Inner London Crown Court. The event was organised by 5 King’s Bench Walk and attended by pupils from 5KBW, Red Lion Chambers, 2 Bedford Row, 5 Paper Buildings, 2 Harcourt Building and Mountford Chambers.
The evening took place across two courtrooms, where a range of hearings took place, including PTPHs and sentences. Mountford’s pupils appeared in front of HHJ Cottage KC.
The event was an invaluable experience for our pupils, navigating last minute changes of instructions and wayward clients. They all rose to the challenge.
Our thanks go to Inner London Crown Court, 5KBW and members of Chambers involved for their support and contributions in making this event such a success.
Alex Calder, James Miller, and Sofia Napolitano will commence their second six on 30th March. Lily Martin will commence her second six on 13th July.
We wish them all the best of luck.
