Education

We work with the Bar Council Education and Training Committee for an education and professional development regime that meets the needs of the profession and of the public, and represents the views of the profession to the Bar Standards Board (BSB) on relevant matters. We are working to support the creation of an education system that enables members of the Bar to maintain a reputation for excellence domestically and internationally.

We also work closely with the Inns of Court to provide work experience, mentoring opportunities and guidance to students and career changers who are interested in a career at the Bar.
