He took

office on 1 September and has

Treasurer and Vice-Chairman of the

Bar.

A specialist in commercial and

constitutional law, Mr. Clarke was

called to the Bar in 1973 and took Silk

in 1985. He has acted for clients such

as Open Door Counselling in the

SPUC case, the NUJ in the European

"During my term of office I very much

hope to see improvements come about,

for the public and for barristers, in the

operation of both the Civil and

Criminal Legal Aid Schemes," he said.

"Courts structures and procedures

need immediate attention and I will be

urging most strongly for radical

change which can deliver a system

capable of dealing with future

requirements," he added.
