Words from our alumni
Heard in chambers.
What graduates of Lex Meridian say, in their own words, about the academy and the years that followed.
“Lex Meridian taught me to think as a barrister thinks — quietly, precisely, and a step ahead. I have not encountered its equal anywhere in the country.”

Eleanor Whitcombe
Barrister, Inner Temple · Class of '23
“The corporate program is the only place I have seen contract drafting taught as the literary discipline it actually is. It was the making of my training contract.”

Adrian Kowalski
Solicitor, Magic Circle firm · Class of '22
“I have examined at four institutions. None marks more rigorously, nor with more care for the student, than Lex Meridian. Their graduates show in court.”

The Hon. Sir James Halloway
Visiting examiner · Faculty since 2018
“Three-hour seminars are unforgiving and exactly what the bar requires. I arrived at pupillage already comfortable in my own argument.”

Priya Ramanathan
Pupil barrister · Class of '24
“Years later I still consult my Lex Meridian notebooks before drafting anything of consequence. That, more than anything, tells you what the academy is worth.”

Tomasz Bauer
In-house counsel, fintech · Class of '21
“The students here read. Properly read. It is, regrettably, a rarer thing than it ought to be — and Lex Meridian still insists upon it.”

Margaret Ainsworth KC
Visiting tutor · Faculty since 2016
