2013.03.31 皇家律师悉尼-金特里奇爵士
Released On: 31 Mar 2013Available for over a yearKirsty Young's castaway this week is Sir Sydney Kentridge QC.
Widely regarded as a leading advocate of the 20th century, he continues to make his mark in the 21st; he recently appeared for the first time in the European Court of Justice and at the end of last year he spent the actual day of his 90th birthday working in the English Supreme Court.
Born in South Africa, he was first called to the bar there at the end of the 1940s and played a leading role in some of the most significant political trials of the apartheid era. 'Understated, controlled, relentlessly rational' - and with devastating cross-examination skills - the verdict of one of his clients - Nelson Mandela.
He himself says "I hope there's only one thing about my professional life of which I've boasted and which I think, as a lawyer, is unique on my part - I have acted as an advocate for three winners of The Nobel Peace Prize. I don't think anyone else has done that."

克尔斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是皇家律师悉尼-金特里奇爵士。
他被广泛认为是20世纪的领先倡导者，并在21世纪继续发挥其作用；他最近首次在欧洲法院出庭，去年年底他在英国最高法院度过了他90岁生日的实际日子。
他出生于南非，在20世纪40年代末首次被聘为律师，并在种族隔离时代的一些最重要的政治审判中发挥了主导作用。低调、有节制、无情的理性"--并具有破坏性的盘问技巧--是对他的一个客户--纳尔逊-曼德拉的判决。
他自己说："我希望在我的职业生活中，只有一件事是我所夸耀的，而且我认为，作为一名律师，这是我的独特之处--我曾为三位诺贝尔和平奖得主担任辩护人。我认为没有人做到这一点。"
