They include: - the Wimbledon Common Murder of Rachel Nickell - the Chillenden Murders (Dr Lin and Megan Russell) - the Earprint Murder - the Murder of Jill Dando - Private Lee Clegg (Northern Ireland) - the Murder of Joanna Yeates - Nazi War Crimes in Britain - Rebekah Brooks's Phone Hacking Trial - and International War Crimes Tribunal (Yugoslavia)When Clegg represented paratrooper Lee Clegg in Belfast, his junior in the long-running appeal case was Keir Starmer, future leader of the Labour Party. A Queen's Counsel (now King's Counsel), Clegg capped his long-running career at the Bar as head of chambers at 2 Bedford Row in London. He is now retired and lives in Sussex.
