message: "Birkett led the Liberal response to the Labour proposal of the Trade Disputes Bill 1931 and "reduced it to tatters", although the bill passed because of the Liberal Party abstaining"
I'm really not sure about this. There's no Trades Disputes Act in the Consolidated Table of the Statutes for 1931, and I can't see anything else that might be it under a different name. Could it perhaps be that it passed the second reading, but didn't progress further? Shimgray | talk | 00:24, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

message: The following is a message I just posted on the Talk page for the Main Page; since it points out an inconsistency not only with the main-page summary, but also within this article, I suppose I should also post it here:
There seems to be an error in the summary of main-page summary of the article on Norman Birkett, 1st Baron Birkett, or at least an inconsistency with (and apparently within) the article itself.  The main-page summary states:  "He was called to the Bar in 1913 and developed a reputation as a barrister able to defend people with almost watertight criminal cases against them, such as in the second of the Brighton trunk murders and the Blazing Car murder."  This implies he represented the defendant (i.e. the accused) in the "Blazing Car murder."  (Which, by the way, is a double redirect that probably should be fixed, as it redirects to Alfred Rouse, the article on the man convicted of the murder.)  The intro to the article Norman Birkett, 1st Baron Birkett also implies that Birkett represented the defendant, though not quite as directly.  However, the section Norman_Birkett, 1st Baron Birkett#Return to the bar states that "the Crown was represented by Birkett and Richard Elwes," and goes on to describe his cross-examination of the defendant, Mr. Rouse.  So there is at least one inconsistency, and possibly two.  Or am I reading something wrong?  Neutron (talk) 19:22, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's an error - seems to spring from an initial error in the introduction (which I based the mainpage section on). I'll fix it on the article, not sure how to fix it on the mainpage. Ironholds (talk) 20:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe if you leave a note at the main-page talk page, in response to mine, one of those who has the ability to change it, will change it.  Neutron (talk) 21:14, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Birkett's interview with Mosley, Oswald might maybe merit a mention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.240.3.252 (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The article depends largely on a single source from the 1960s. Other sources need to be cited for balance and comprehensiveness. For example, this book on Birkett's involvement in a particular legal case, here and here for his influence on advocacy in English courts, here for his influence on manslaughter law, and any number of sources about the Nuremberg trial.
