Reading this article on the behavior of barristers in the workplace sheds lights on their “very different" and “secret world”.

I can well believe that the male members' "attitudes worsen as they rise through the ranks from junior barrister to judges" and that it is “pointless to complain... to the clubbable world of senior members". After all, I complained about the barristers and judges involved in Lily's kidnapping but got absolutely nowhere.

The most telling quote for me was: "The boys in my chambers I look at them and think I don’t think they are like it when they join...”. Sounds like they sell their morals to join the club. So, is it really farfetched to believe the barristerhood would cover-up a mistake by a (QC barrister) judge even if it involved (technically at least) the kidnap of a child?
