QC?

Herring was appointed KC in 1936. It appears to me that by the time of the corination, he was no longer practising at the bar. i.e. Was he ever a QC? Pdfpdf (talk) 05:30, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Although he never practiced law again after the Second World War, appointment as a KC is for life. He remained on the list and so automatically became a QC in 1953. He continued to use the post nominal. It is not uncommon for a judge to resign and practice as a senior counsel again. Hawkeye7 (talk) 09:30, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from 99.34.26.78, 2 September 2011

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In section Between the Wars, second paragraph: "Herring ... practice in and died of cancer in mid 50s then his wife victoria.... " Apparently a previous edit dropped some continuity and leaves a garble. Possibly entire sentence can be eliminated, in any case reference must be cleared up as Herring obviously did not die of cancer.

That was added about half an hour ago, along with some other nonsense. I reverted it about 20 minutes ago. If it's still showing up for you, try purging the cache. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Monash: Lawyer and engineer

Why delete that Monash was an engineer? He is more famous for having been an engineer than a lawyer, and never practised law, according to his article. Grassynoel (talk) 03:51, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

True, but the context is a comparison with Herring, who was a lawyer but not an engineer. We could drop the "and lawyer" if you think it would confuse readers. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:10, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
