  • サマリー

  • The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn is one of four Inns of Court exclusively entitled to Call their members to the Bar of England and Wales. A thriving association of students, barrister and judges, we proudly provide support, education and camaraderie to members at every stage of their careers. As part of the Lincoln’s Inn 600th anniversary year celebrations during 2022, the Inn set out to a record the thoughts and recollections of five of its members, through an oral history project, carried out by oral historian Sarah Gudgin. Each interview reveals aspects of the lives and careers of the interviewees and explores a sense of the continuity of both the legal profession and the role of the Inn in people’s lives. The long term aim of the project is to create an on-going oral history archive of the Inn, adding more recordings over time, covering a wide range of Inn experiences, including those of students, pupils, employees, tenants, clerks, benchers, KCs and Judges. We are most grateful for the generous time and contributions of all of our interviewees who took part in the project, which we hope you will enjoy listening to.

  • David Scorey KC
    2023/10/30
    We're in conversation with David Scorey KC, looking beyond background and regional accents to follow his road from humble beginnings in Manchester to Oxford and the Bar, a path that required ability, application and merit. David Scorey was born Manchester, 1973 and brought up by his mother, a teacher and a single parent. When the young David told his grandfather that he wanted to be a lawyer, his advice was that it was better to be a barrister, because they were the ones in front and in charge. David was determined to study law and gained a place at St John’s College, Oxford, followed by an LLM (European Community Law) at Leiden University. He joined the Inn in 1994, with the generous support of a Hardwicke Scholarship, which enabled him to fund the cost of Bar School. He was called to the Bar in 1997 and obtained pupillage at Essex Court Chambers where he continues to be based. David took Silk in 2015 and has a wide-ranging practice in international and domestic commercial law, litigating in both domestic courts and tribunals, in addition to international arbitrations.  David has significant appellate experience in the Court of Appeal, House of Lords (as was) and Supreme Court. David also has appeared in the ECtHR and has extensive experience in preliminary references to the CJEU. He is called in the BVI and is admitted to practice as a Registered Foreign Lawyer before the Singapore International Commercial Court.  In this podcast, David talks about his experience of student life at the Inn, working hard as a junior and his experience as an advocate and Silk. He was made a Bencher in 2008 and contemplates the importance of keeping the Inn relevant to the needs of its members.
