In 2004 I was lucky enough have dinner with a friend, ex-California judge and lawyer-turned-barrister at Gray’s Inn. Among the West’s most enduring institutions and traditions, the Inns of Court make Yale’s Skull and Bones seem like Chuck E. Cheese, Mattress Discounters or the downtown Pittsburgh “Y”. They lie in the true heart of London, a city of uninterrupted commerce, vitality and ideas for nearly 2000 years. See this interesting glimpse (in 2 posts) of life as a member of the Inns of Court here and especially here at Tim Kevan’s The Barrister Blog.
