& the devil is in the detail – live on Ampersand Live
Meet the newest generation of Ampersand Advocates – live.
This June, “& the devil is in the detail” returns to Ampersand Live with two live broadcasts – each a conversation with one of our newest advocates as they prepare to call to the Scottish Bar.
Hosted by Alan Moffat, Practice Manager at Ampersand, with questions led by one of our Deputy Clerks, each session goes behind the wig and gown to explore the journey to the Bar, what devilling was really like, and each advocate’s plans for calling and beyond.
Join us live:
- Laura-anne Langlands – Monday 15 June 2026, 12.30pm. Questions from Deputy Clerk, Sheena Hume [Register on LinkedIn here]
- Miranda Cannibal – Tuesday 16 June 2026, 12.30pm. Questions from Deputy Clerk, Kathryn Ferguson [Register on LinkedIn here]
What to expect:
Each live session follows one advocate’s story – the journey that brought them to the Bar, the realities of the nine-month devilling process, and their plans for practice once they call. Whether you’re a solicitor considering instructing new counsel, a law student curious about life at the Scottish Bar, or simply interested in what it takes to become an advocate, these conversations are for you. Tune in live and bring your questions. Or watch on demand later.
