Apprentice's De Lacy-Brown: Securing a pupillage was harder than confronting Sir Alan

Fishmonger Mr De Lacy-Brown is quite right that his inability to sell fish is no reflection on his calibre as a lawyer. However, his decision to seek a job in such a way be thought a little imprudent by some. I agree the wider question of whether chambers' selection committees have an Oxbridge bias is important, especially as efforts are being made to improve access to the bar. For the present, let us be thankful that Sir Alan is at hand to redress the iniquity of it all.
