New Silks on Circuit
The Northern Circuit sends its congratulations to those Circuiteers who have been elevated to Silk in the 2008-9 competition. They are: Mark George of Garden Court North, Manchester; Graham Knowles of Exchange Chambers, Manchester; Michael Rawlinson of Kings Chambers, Manchester; Jeffrey Samuels of St Johns Buildings, Manchester and Dennis Watson of Lincoln House Chambers, Manchester. Queens Counsel has always been a sign of the highest quality. The new appointments system seeks to maintain and recognise those high standards as well as to ensure that the opportunity to take silk is open to all of the necessary ability. The application process includes taking references from a much wider range of sources than has been the case in the past and only from those with direct working experience of the candidate.
Further information on the appointments system is available on the Queens Counsel website
