The Temple Bar Scholars included those who have provided clerking duties, legal research and support, for no less than 8 Supreme Court and Appellate Court Judges including USA Supreme Court Judges, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Joseph Alito. The Pegasus scholars are all gifted advocates with outstanding CV’s who have been selected to take part in this highly prestigious exchange of talent.

Jamil - [when speaking about the event] “There is a real importance in welcoming our foreign counterparts, we all do important work, the opportunity to invite US practitioners into our world whilst share and learn from each other’s experiences will be beneficial to all of us”.

We look forward to welcoming past and future guests of this prestigious programme very soon.
