Jaime Hamilton KC
Leader
Welcome to the Northern Circuit, a place of proud history, strong traditions, legal excellence and, importantly, overwhelming friendliness!
Stretching as it does from the Border City of Carlisle in Cumbria at its northernmost point, running through beautiful Lakeland to the port of Whitehaven in the West, on through Preston and Burnley in the heart of Lancashire to the great Northern powerhouses of Manchester, now regarded by many as England’s “second city”, and Liverpool, famous world-wide for its breathtaking waterfront over which Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts now keep watch, and most recently joined by the historic city of Chester and its surrounding county – the Northern Circuit remains at the forefront of legal development.

New Junior
Dear All I am delighted to announce that Isabella Denn-White of 7 Harrington Street will be the next Junior of the Circuit, succeeding Hannah Forsyth. Issy recently accompanied the Leader-Elect and I to a dinner with North West MPs and represented the Circuit with aplomb. I am sure she will carry that into her new role. Thank you very much to the outgoing Junior. Hannah has been absolutely brilliant in her two terms and deserves all our thanks. Jaime
