Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand

I completed my law exams back in February and got the results in April but it was only yesterday when I was finally admitted to the Bar here as a barister and solicitor. I get to be both here as the professions are fused. It takes a lot of paperwork and references to prove that you are a "fit and proper person" to be admitted.

My biggest fan.

We then had a lovely lunch with my work colleagues and rounded off the evening with the Cambridge Society of Auckland Annual Dinner. WOuldn't you know it though - Ian knew more people at that event than I did! I was surprised how much I enjoyed hanging out with Cambridge folk again. Quite a special shared experience.
