On Tuesday 9th December, Laura Gould was published as an Ordinary Bencher of Lincoln’s Inn during Members’ Lunch in Hall, after being elected on Tuesday 18th November.
Laura said “The Inn’s staff and members have been a supportive and influential presence throughout my career. Volunteering for the Inn has been a vital part of what makes being a barrister so much more than a job to me. I am both daunted and excited at the prospect of serving the Inn as a Bencher for many years to come.”
Laura is the youngest woman to be elected as a bencher at Lincoln’s Inn, and quite possibly the youngest ever, but with over 600 years of records to check, that could take some time.
