Two Magdalen alumni have been appointed King’s Counsel in the new silks appointments announced today.  The two new Silks are Jason Poboy (2008) at Blackstone Chambers and Dr Niranjan Venkatesan (2010) at One Essex Court.

These appointments are made by His Majesty The King on the advice of the Lord Chancellor, following consideration by the independent King’s Counsel Selection Panel.
