Stock image fail
Whatever a typical male barrister looks like, we reckon he doesn’t look like this. Or at least we hope he doesn’t.
Nonetheless, Legal Cheek is clearly out of step with RateMyBarrister, a website that, according to its home page,
“Helps barristers, chambers and clients make informed decisions by promoting transparency within the legal profession”.
The site promotes itself as allowing:
“Lawyers and lay clients … to review everything from knowledge to charm of each barrister in England and Wales”.
However, its recent Facebook advert — which received a bollocking on Twitter for reaching for a naff stock image — suggests a typical barrister is some sort of geek/hipster, who looks more Shoreditch barrista than barrister.
