HIs Honour Owen Davies KC
His Honour Judge Davies KC was called to the Bar in 1973, was Head of Chambers at Garden Court Chambers from 1991 to 2011 and took Silk in 1999. He was appointed a Recorder in 2000 and a Circuit Judge in 2011. He retired in 2019. He was appointed a Bencher of The Inner Temple in 2001.
Victoria Cariole Hajba-Ward was called to the Bar in 2011, she works on the Northeastern Circuit and specialises in serious sexual assault and domestic abuse.
The interview covers Davies’s experiences as a student at The Inner Temple: the process of modernisation within the Inns of Court in terms of student experiences and dining: his relationship with the Temple Church as an atheist: his experience of the 400th anniversary Inn’s Charter and the millennium celebrations; of historical discrimination and estrangement from the Inn.
The runtime is 1 hour, 17 minutes and 11 seconds.
