'Where this proves difficult, there are many pro bono establishments such as, from whom I have also undertaken pro bono work.'
Mr Shensmith explained: 'I know both male and female barristers that actively seek out such instructions including immigration, human rights, animal protection, domestic violence, sexual violence.we have mechanisms in place that seek to provide fair access to competent representation wherever possible. He added that while some cases may seem unpalatable, in the UK, we also have a 'cab-rank' rule, 'whereby a barrister must take the case without regard to his/her/their personal feelings on the issue if they are available, competent, and offered a proper fee'. Ms Dauber highlighted a number of female lawyers who have worked on unpalatable cases, representing clients including Harvey Weinstein, branding them 'skirts'Īs well as Ms Vasquez, Ms Dauber also shared tweets listing female lawyers she called 'skirts', including those who had represented Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby and Andrew Cuomo among others.ĭiscussing the representation of clients accused of particularly egregious charges, Mr Shensmith told FEMAIL that lawyers, and in particular barristers, are required to represent clients 'promote fearlessly and by all proper and lawful means the lay client’s best interests and to do so without regard to their own interests'. 'In my view, Ms Dauber's tweet with a screenshot photograph of Ms Vasquez may also for the basis for a defamation claim.' 'Yet further irony is that Ms Vasquez just won a multi-million lawsuit for defamation for an article that did not mention the claimant's name. With regards to the Tweets about Camilla Vasquez, he said: 'I believe are potentially defamatory and, in any event, totally unacceptable from any legal professional. When joining the legal profession, one assumes and commits to a more measured approach to uphold the trust and integrity in the legal profession and the legal system as a whole.'
He added: 'I would expect that there are similar rules for lawyers in the US and, perhaps, in Stanford’s policies. While lawyers can argue with others online, he suggested 'tweets such as these would almost certainly cross the threshold' when it comes to UK guidelines around comments that are 'likely to diminish public trust and confidence in the profession'. He explained that in the UK, within the Bar Standards Board handbook, acting in a way that is likely to diminish the trust and confidence which the public places in the legal profession is considered misconduct. 'Ironically, it is my view that such tweets and comments are likely to worsen prejudicial views held by some, rather than help to eliminate them.' Mr Shensmith told FEMAIL the tweets were 'disappointing' to read, adding: 'It is frankly rather shocking to read such offensive and disparaging comments directed toward women lawyers and women in general, let alone from an award-winning Stanford law professor. I had to check the Stanford directory to confirm the same.
