Stephen Wood KC Presents Clare Walsh with a Red Bag
Today, Stephen Wood KC surprised Clare Walsh, by turning up at her home address and presented her with a red bag.
The presentation to a junior barrister of a red robe bag by a silk (King's Counsel) is traditionally done to recognise outstanding work done by a junior when led by a silk in a case of substance.
Stephen said, “Clare's contribution to obtaining convictions in a trial we prosecuted was outstanding. She really deserves this token of my thanks”.
