We swapped our seats in the classroom for the counsel’s bench of Court No. 1 at the Old Bailey. After meeting members of the City of London livery companies and uncovering the centuries‑old world of guilds and trade, we watched ‘Justice! Trial & Error’, a gripping retelling of landmark cases from Derek Bentley to Ruth Ellis. The performance offered a fascinating, fast‑paced insight into criminal law, all while raising funds for post‑prison reintegration work.
