Dispatch From London # 6

Today we got all dressed up to go to the Royal Courts of Justice, which is basically like the Circuit or Chancery courts in the U.S. We had to hop on the tube early to get there. It was my first time getting on in the morning and it was packed liked sardines.

Morning Rush to Work

Packed like sardines

We got a tour of the building, which was build back in like 1852 or something like that, (can't remember). Anyway we were not allowed to take pictures inside. But it was immaculate in terms of the design and how it was built. Showed all the judges from back in the day, "Hey Mookie how come aint no brothers up on the walls man?" No I did not ask. Anyway, the attorneys or Solicitors as they are called here have to wear the white wigs, which I was scheming on how to get my hands on one, and black robes. We sat in on an appeals case about a kid that committed a robbery with a fake gun. But our stomachs grew hungry and we decided to move on to our next stop.

University of Memphis Law

Southern University Law

Texas Southern Law (and our two professors from Southern)

Group Composite (oops, I threw the A-Phi up!)

After leaving the Court, we went to the Law Society, which is like the building where all of the lawyers back in the day hung out, did research, drank tea and ate cookies. The building was pretty nice as well, built back in the day. We were able to hand out there for a while and observe some of the art present.

Random shots, everybody was getting their Kodak moment on.....

The building in the middle is supposed to be the oldest building in London.

All that posing got a brother tired,plus I gotta read. Keep me in your prayers..... Holla
