Mock and learn

Obiter jeers, via a sideswipe at the Blair's children and their friends, at those participating in the Citizenship Foundation's and Bar Council's mock trial final at the Old Bailey (see [2002] Gazette, 28 March, 10).

We are confident that the 3,000 14-18 year olds, 200 barristers and 70 judges who participated this year around the country will not take this to heart.

We would be happy to invite Obiter to put his 'mock' where his mouth is by being our guest at next year's final - as defendant.
