Terms of Reference of the Committee

a. To provide support to the employed Bar in all matters relevant to practice at the employed Bar;

b. To influence policy and advise representative committees of the Bar Council on all matters which appear to the Employed Barristers' Committee to be of particular concern to the employed Bar, or upon which advice is sought by other representative committees of the Bar Council;

c. To consider and advise on the implications for the employed Bar of any regulatory changes proposed by the BSB;

d. To elect, from amongst their number, a Chair and Vice-Chair both of whom must be employed barristers. Each should serve a one-year term, with the expectation that the Vice-Chair will become the Chair of the committee. If the Chair is employed in the public sector, then the Vice-Chair must be drawn from outside (and vice versa). [If the Chair or Vice-Chair ceases to be an employed barrister, then he (or she) shall cease to be qualified to hold that office, in which event paragraph 3(a) in Schedule One to these Standing Orders will apply (but with the word "elected" being substituted for the word "appointed").]

e. To support the strategic aims of the Bar Council, as published.
