"This is a victory for women's rights and free speech. After two and a half years battling with the Bar Standards Board, I triumphed over accusations of misconduct for criticizing a domestic abuse judgment. I represented a woman in a coercive control case and argued the ruling victim-blamed her, reflecting a boys' club mentality."
"The high court judgment by Sir Jonathan Cohen victim-blamed the wife and trivialised domestic abuse, and my criticism was deemed harmful to the judiciary's authority. It’s astonishing how I, a 34-year-old woman, faced such allegations while male barristers were let off for similar misconduct without repercussions."
