I've witnessed that, in Ireland though, which has a similar system. On a very technical case. The barrister failed to set up WIFI in the meeting room 60 min before going to the court, not even reading the error messages. Which scared me, but then he proceeded to explain the most complicated details in front of the judge. I was stunned.
- Sharlin 4y agoGoes to show that theoretical knowledge doesn't nearly always correlate well (or at all) with practical skill, and vice versa.
- AlbertCory 4y agoYou're assuming the barrister doesn't have theoretical knowledge, which I can tell you from experience is not true. Good lawyers have an incredible ability to grasp the theoretical underpinnings of almost anything very, very quickly.
- Sharlin 4y agoHm? I meant the exact opposite. The barrister in the GP's anecdote had intricate theoretical knowledge of a very technical subject matter, despite not being able (or not bothering) to debug a simple Wi-Fi problem, which surprised the GP.
