Prosecution and defence.
Career
Rose has a varied and successful Crown Court practice, with considerable experience appearing for both the Prosecution and the Defence in multi-handed Jury trials involving large scale drug trafficking offences, terrorism, firearms and armed robbery, sexual offences, serious violence and arson with intent to endanger life. She has been instructed as both leading and led junior for the Crown in complex organised crime cases.
Rose is currently instructed as leading junior in a 7 handed multi-million-pound Class A cocaine importation case involving an organised crime group operating out of the UK with ties to the Caribbean, having gained considerable experience in cases of this nature. She has appeared as a Prosecution junior in a lengthy and high-profile terrorism trial before the Central Criminal Court, and in a complex murder-for-gain trial, both resulting in convictions and sentences of life imprisonment. Rose has specialist training in handling vulnerable witnesses and has demonstrated an aptitude for dealing with extremely vulnerable clients and witnesses who find themselves before the Courts.
Rose was recently instructed in the Court of Appeal as junior counsel for the Appellant in the successful CCRC historic miscarriage of justice murder appeal of Oliver Campbell. Rose has had considerable success on appeals against sentence and conviction before the Court of Appeal. She recently appeared for the appellant in a complex appeal which raised new points of law. Leave, having been refused by the single Judge, was granted at a full hearing with detailed skeleton arguments from both parties given the legal complexities.
Outside of her criminal practice, Rose is also developing an international and public law practice. She has experience in Judicial Review proceedings, been invited to be a panel speaker at the Public Law Project’s annual conference and participated in the Law Commission consultation on the new Sentencing Code. In 2020, Rose was awarded the prestigious Pegasus Trust Outgoing Scholarship to work for the Supreme Court in Uganda. Rose has also acted pro bono in a successful Article 8 ECHR appeal, heard in the Immigration Appeal Tribunal, and has appeared in matters before the Employment Tribunal for the Free Representation Unit and privately instructed.
Rose also practices in an academic capacity. Prior to her career at the Bar, having obtained a First Class law degree and Masters in Human Rights Law from the University of Bristol, she was an appointed an Honorary Research Fellow of the university’s Law School. Rose is widely published in relation to matters of law pertaining to the UK’s relationship with both the Council of Europe and the European Union, and has been interviewed regularly on national radio. As a result of one particular publication in the European Human Rights Law Review, Rose was invited, by Human Rights Watch, to be a panel member in a Parliamentary debate on whether the Human Rights Act was fit for purpose.
Most significantly, prior to commencing Pupillage, Rose co-authored a book on European Human Rights Law with Professors Greer and Gerards, which was published by Cambridge University Press in March 2018: S. Greer, J. Gerards and R. Slowe, ‘Human Rights in the Council of Europe and European Union: Achievements Trends and Challenges’, Cambridge Studies in Law and Policy (Cambridge University Press, 2018). This “excellent and important” monograph has been praised as a “a major, timely and welcome contribution to the literature on European human rights law” and “one of the first comprehensive book-length studies of Europe’s two principal human rights systems, a valuable resource for those interested in the broader picture of human rights in Europe”. In April 2018, Rose and her co-authors were invited to lecture about the thesis of their book at various Ivy League universities in the United States.
