The Critical Importance Of Face-to-Face Law: Reflections From A Defence Lawyer
“I miss the whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways, the atmosphere, as thrilling here, as always…..”
A quote from “Sunset Boulevard” by Don Black, Christopher Hampton and Andrew Lloyd Webber.
The last time I was in Court was March 15, 2020. Looking back on it, it seems like another lifetime, and of course, it was. For me, it was the last normal day before the full impact of COVID-19 hit home. It was the last time I saw my colleagues and friends; advocated in front of a judge for a client; went into battle. It was the last time I was a courtroom warrior. I miss it quite desperately.
