    "June Venters KC appeared before me recently in the trial of X [name confidential]. This was a difficult case in which the defendant was accused of sexually assaulting his daughters, in the context of a highly acrimonious contact dispute. Ms Venters impressed me throughout as extremely conscientious and well prepared. Her cross examination of the complaints was both considered and sensitive. She is a first-rate jury advocate and I have no doubt that the acquittal which secured was in large part due to her excellent jury speech." Judge
