Bar Handbook 2008
28 February 2008
The Bar Council is publishing a portable, concise, single point of reference of all its current guidance and advice.
It will bring together details and guidance relating to a barrister's practice. This is a timely publication: Both the current regulatory landscape and the practicalities of practising at the Bar are changing rapidly, whether it be in relation to legal aid, future business models for chambers, opening up access to the Bar, the formation of the Bar Standards Board or the reforms being made by the Legal Services Act 2007. This Handbook seeks to clarify the important distinction between The Bar Council's representative and regulatory functions.
