SHOW NOTES:
Continuing our series about each of our four co-hosts, this episode takes a look at Fran’s career to date.
Fran was a Middle Temple scholarship student and then undertook pupillage and tenancy at the criminal bar. She talks about the realities of how she got to the independent criminal bar, her shift in career eight years later, and what it all taught her along the way.
Fran moved roles to work at Queen Mary University of London in their student law clinic (the Queen Mary Legal Advice Centre). Listen in to see what all this taught her and what she means by ‘getting the gloss’.
