Obiter has long enjoyed pictures of solicitors cheek-by-jowl with celebrities, whether drawn from the world of entertainment, politics or sport. Among those to appear in recent years are TV presenter Keith Chegwin, comedian Ken Dodd, singer Tony Christie, athlete Roger Black, and former MP Edwina Currie. This week's entry sees two budding lawyers - Matthew Doherty, a law student at Liverpool John Moores University, and Daniel Abrams, who is about to start a training contract in the City at US firm Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Nicholson Graham - get in on the act by taking on Australian tennis star Pat Cash, winner of Wimbledon in 1987, at an exhibition tournament in Liverpool. Could Messrs Doherty and Abrams, who are the sons, respectively, of the senior partner and managing partner of Liverpool-based EAD Solicitors, also have set a record for the earliest appearance on this page in a legal career?
