Rumpole attended "Linklater's" (a fictional minor public school)[REF] and studied law at either Keble College[REF] or the fictional "St Joseph's College", Oxford,[REF] coming away with "a dubious third".
Rumpole raises tensions with his American daughter-in-law Erica (Deborah Fallender) because of their differing views (such as her disapproval of his cross-examining a rape victim whom he believed to be lying) [REF].
