In March 2021 the Inn’s Lent Reader, His Honour John Mitchell, very sadly passed away.
Master Mitchell was a dedicated Bencher and committed advocacy trainer and moot judge. He thoroughly enjoyed his time as Lent Reader, and his kindness and support will be remembered by generations of students.
Master Treasurer, Andrew Hochhauser QC, will be delivering the reading in honour of Master Mitchell, focusing on the life of Thomas Chester, believed to be the first African American to be Called to the English Bar.
