I’ve have been running workshops on Judicial and Silk applications for a number of circuits and chambers. Since the pandmic I have been running these remotely via Zoom. “Thank you for the sessions. Feedback on them has been excellent.” Wales and Chester Circuit.
Ahead of the first King’s Counsel competition I’ve been asked to run a specific workshop focussing on the 2023 Silk Competition.
Over the past few years I’ve been running my interactive workshops for barristers and solicitors wanting to gain insights into the Silk and/or Judicial application processes. I’ve very much enjoyed doing these and have received some excellent feedback. I was approached to run another one for a chambers on the Midlands Circuit in May – but then we were hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.
*** 14 March 2025***
– “I got it! Thank you for all your help – couldn’t have done it without you”
“Thank you so so much for your help, it was unbelievable Please come to my party?”
The 2025 competition launched today with the deadline for applications at 5pm on Friday 25 April 2025. As last year the application window runs over the Easter holidays which will add unnecessary pressure for many. As KCA advised me last year: “… we have also had feedback in the opposite direction, in that when the courts are not sitting it is easier for parents to carve out time to complete the application.” Hmm?! Factor that in and plan your time accordingly.
Anyway, it seems to be very similar to last year’s, however your 12 cases should be drawn from the last 3 years.
“Hi Tim. I’m pleased to tell you that your record of successfully getting people through continues. Many thanks for all your patience & it definitely made all the difference.”
First and foremost, do read the KC Appointment 2025 Guidance. But I would also strongly recommend that you consider the 2024 competition report and especially the panel’s approach to the competencies these will give you a real insight into who gets appointed and why.
