Katherine Duncan and Hannah Whitehouse, barristers who joined Coram Chambers over the summer of 2024, recently conducted training for the Joint Legal Team based at Reading Borough Council.
The training focused on preparing for a simple case management hearing and included interactive exercises on managing nerves in court.
