Doesn't anyone else when selecting counsel, consider which counsel is likely to be best able to handle the other side's witnesses? I have used female counsel where there is a suggestion one of the other side's witnesses is an MCP because it has an added irritation factor. Or is that discriminatory too?

I have every sympathy for counsel in this case feeling aggrieved/bemused/indignant if colour/ethnicity was the only reason. I wonder what clout her clerk has in dealing with the solicitor's firm?
