What does it really mean when aspiring barristers and lawyers are told to "just be yourself"? Can you stay true to your accent while mastering courtroom advocacy and professional communication in law?
In this episode of Doesn't Sound Right, Matt and Denise are joined by Chris Kessling, a barrister with over 20 years' experience at the criminal Bar and a trainer at the Inns of Court College of Advocacy (ICCA). Chris shares how ICCA helps future barristers and lawyers develop clear, persuasive speech—without changing their accents.
"Accents are like jewels, beautiful in their diversity," says Chris. But despite this, he reveals why he once felt pressured to "dumb down" his accent after leaving boarding school. Together, they explore the balance between authenticity and professionalism, and what this means for pupillage applicants, law students, and junior lawyers navigating the legal profession.
A must-listen for aspiring barristers, lawyers, pupillage applicants, advocacy trainers, and anyone passionate about diversity, social mobility, and regional accents in UK law.
