The Spring 2010 issue features the luncheon visit by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Treasurership of Queen Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. It also includes articles about the future of the referral Bar, the Scottish Bar, and the Employed Bar. The issue celebrates the Inn's links with the United States through its Honorary Benchers, provides details on the Inn's new Fellows, and includes humourous articles by long-serving members of staff.
