    Stella Thomas, born in Nigeria in 1906, was admitted to the Inn in 1929. She was Called to the Bar in 1933, the first female barrister from West Africa, and went on to a successful practice in Lagos, becoming West Africa’s first female magistrate in 1943. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM

    We @middletemple are very concerned by the challenges faced by students taking the BSB exams and will be working with the BSB, with other Inns and our members to try to ensure a timely and satisfactory resolution to the issues.

    In 1598, the barrister John Davies assaulted a fellow Middle Templar with a stick until it broke, ran to the end of the Hall shaking his sword above his head, and hurried down to the river to escape to Oxford by boat. He was expelled from the Inn. #Archives

    In the absence of a #WhiteChristmas in London, this image taken looking towards the snowy Middle Temple Garden, c.1935, provides a glimpse of the atmospheric winters of the past. #Archives
