Welcome to the Northern Circuit

Dear All

The new Circuit Junior, Sam Watson of Atlantic Chambers, was sworn in last night at mess in Manchester. Congratulations to Sam.

He follows Marie-Claire Gane who has completed her stint as Junior. MCG has been a class act. I cannot thank her enough. I am sure that for her, as it is for me, the visit of the LCJ to mess will stand out as one of the great Circuit occasions. MCG can now bask in the best moment of being Circuit Junior - when it’s all over.

Regards

Welcome to the Northern Circuit, a place of proud history, strong traditions, legal excellence and, importantly, overwhelming friendliness!

Stretching as it does from the Border City of Carlisle in Cumbria at its northernmost point, running through beautiful Lakeland to the port of Whitehaven in the West, on through Preston and Burnley in the heart of Lancashire to the great Northern powerhouses of Manchester, now regarded by many as England’s “second city”, and Liverpool, famous world-wide for its breathtaking waterfront over which Queen Elizabeth II Law Courts now keep watch, and most recently joined by the historic city of Chester and its surrounding county – the Northern Circuit remains at the forefront of legal development.
