Assistant Junior
Lucy Jones
Barrister
I love the Midland Circuit. Even before my membership I reaped its rewards by being inspired, mentored and supported by so many of its members who volunteered their time to encourage prospective pupils like me. Now 10 years on, I have the privilege of being appointed as assistant junior of this circuit, for whose members I have always had the utmost respect and admiration. I want to ensure that prospective pupils, pupils and new practitioners have the same positive experience of the Circuit as I have had and that there is opportunity to build friendships from the East to the West amongst our vibrant, diverse and impressive membership.
