More evidence that a key driver to ending complicity of city law firms & barristers’ chambers with fossil fuel industry is likely to be young people refusing to do such work & selecting their firm or chambers on that basis. Why should young people work to destroy their own future

We are not here to be polite. We are not here to be "respectable."
