Bar Conference 2025

Bar Conference 2025 was held on Saturday 7 June at the Park Regis hotel in Birmingham.

We're delighted to have welcomed a range of expert speakers from across the legal profession and government, who explored subjects at the heart of the Bar. Those who joined us networked, socialised and engaged with colleagues from across the legal profession.

Attendees:

• Took part in insightful sessions such as exploring the current state of the justice system, the critical role of statistical reasoning in legal practice, and the evolving culture at the Bar
• Chose breakout options from exploring what a reflective practice could look like, the impact and future of public inquiries and navigating ethical dilemmas
• Met a range of organisations that support the Bar in our exhibition
• Networked with colleagues you know and make new connections
