Update: Even more CMC Ex-Cadets at the “Bar”!
The last few editions we included CMC graduates who are currently, or have been, lawyers. We have received a great many e-mails informing us of other ex-cadets who have been called to the bar that were not included in our list. In this edition, we try to provide a further update on ex-cadets we missed in our last editions.
Some “bios” are more exhaustive than others. We are by no means trying to promote any person over another. Simply, some of the information we obtained was more exhaustive on some than others.
Following are yet other ex-Cadets who have been called to the bar:
