    THE WORLD THIS WEEK A total of 107 new QCs have been appointed in this year's silk appointments round, including 25 women.

    The number of appointments is at a five-year high, after four years of 100 or fewer new silks. However, the proportion of women appointed has fallen compared with last year, when the same number of new female QCs were named.

    Overall, 45 per cent of the 238 applicants were successful, an increase on 2014/15, when 42 per cent were given QC status.
