This week, Isobel Morath and Samuel Walker each spent a day at Anglia Ruskin University, supporting students on the university’s Cyber Security and Digital Forensics course.
Working alongside Senior Lecturer Practitioners Andrew Moore and Steve Shepherd MBE, they assisted with a practical advocacy exercise in which students gave evidence on expert reports they had prepared in relation to a potential cyber-crime investigation. The exercise involved examination-in-chief and cross-examination, with law students acting as counsel.
The exercise provided students with a valuable opportunity to apply both legal and technical skills in a realistic courtroom setting, and we were very happy to come along and support! Thank you to Anglia Ruskin University for having us.

We are pleased to highlight recent work from Samantha Marsh.
Samantha recently completed a 7-day trial at Cambridge Crown Court, defending a client facing four counts of sexual assault. Following trial, the defendant was acquitted of three of the four charges, with a conviction recorded only in respect of the least serious allegation.
She is currently instructed in a substantial Crown Court matter, having stepped in at short notice to represent a defendant in custody facing an 8-count indictment including allegations of GBH (s.18), kidnap, false imprisonment, robbery and threats with a bladed article. The case involves complex issues, including non-defendant bad character and working with a client for whom English is not a first language, and required Samantha to get rapidly up to speed in challenging circumstances.
