Hi 14.30,

I'm 13.50.

I really do believe that the counsel I have chosen have been chosen for no reason other than that they are the best fit for the client and for the work. My go to silk is a black man, and my go to junior is a white woman. Their gender and pigmentation have had nothing whatsoever to do with the choices I have made. In every case it came down entirely to their respective intellects, client manner and courtroom performance. Also, the silk's footnotes in pleadings are a thing of joy.

I am of course damned by anything I say or do. I am now told that I am unconsciously biased, though I will have to take your word for that, given that you gave been gracious enough to remove from me any intention of bias.

It bristles though, it really does. I am the disabled only child of a militant lesbian. My credentials could not be more inclusive, yet I am unconsciously biased and apparently the Bar is suffering because of it.

Sorry Bar. I tried my best. I really did.
