While it was clear enough that, when the time came for a successor to the Middlesbrough-based Mechanics' Institute of 1844, a new technical college was in order, a shortage of funding long proved a barrier to any such plan. The College's launch could otherwise have come as early as 1914. Even after the donation of £40,000 in order to build the college from local shipping magnate Joseph Constantine in 1916, progress was slow. A Governing Council took place in 1922, followed by a doubling of the original financial offer by the Constantine fam ...

Barristers work in two main contexts: in "independent practice" or "employed". The distinction between the two is perhaps most easily summed up as that between being self-employed and salaried. Most barristers are self-employed in "independent practice", but operate within the framework of a set of Chambers. Under a tenancy agreement, they pay a certain amount per month ("rent") to their chambers, which provides accommodation, clerical support and clerking (finding and booking work). Some chambers have elaborate sliding scale arrangem ...
