Thank you! Even English people struggle to understand the difference between solicitors and barristers. Ages ago I wrote a chunk of the Penguin Guide to the Law and I tried to give an explanation. I will look it out when I get a moment and post it to continue educating my friends across the Atlantic (and English ones too!)

Love all your articles, Richard! My favourite period in the legal profession was being your ‘medico legal secretary’.

Thank you Betty. That is so kind of you! Surely my chaotic way of working drove you up the wall?!?

This American had to look up some of your British terminology! Had no idea what a kipper was. 😄 And this turned into a bit of a lesson about the British legal system. Solicitors vs barristers etc

Another walk down what seems like an idyllic if dysfunctional part of English countryside legal history.
