The game of wit required to succeed as a barrister feeds her unlike anything else, and she's damn good at it. A scrappy girl who landed at Cambridge on full scholarship, she has worked tirelessly to make a name for herself in London's elite chambers. Her masterful line of questioning in the courtroom has netted Tessa win after win, including freeing men accused of rape and sexual assault. As controversial as it is, this is her job - it's just about the facts and who can game the system.
