Today would have been Lord Denning's 120th birthday.
Called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in June 1923, a Bencher from 1944, and Treasurer for 1964.
He subsequently became the only person to be a Bencher or Honorary Bencher at all four Inns of Court.
It is with great regret that we report the death of Catherine McArdle, Deputy Librarian. Catherine passed away peacefully on Sunday 28 January. She had worked at the Inn since 1988 and was a much-loved colleague and friend. We send our deepest condolences to Catherine’s family.
We are aware of the issues and concerns our students have and we’ve raised these with the BSB previously. Similar to the other Inns of Court, we have raised the latest issues with them and will continue to do so.
