HIP-HOPPIN’ HEBREWS

SUCCAH CITY SLICKERS

Four top lawyers told a succah full of budding advocates what law they would like to change. The event, a UJS Q&A at Berwin Leighton Paisner’s Succah in the City, featured Anthony Julius, the JC chairman and former lawyer to Princess Diana, who said he would like a higher limit for points on his driving licence. Solicitor Eve Salomon said she would reform Sod’s Law, while, more seriously, crossbencher Lord Pannick and BLP senior partner Harold Paisner cited the rules on assisted suicide as in need of redress.
