What we offer
Tours
We run monthly tours of the Inn. These are free and open to anyone considering a career at the Bar. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions about the profession and to hear from the Education Department and our scholars about what it’s like being a member of the Inn, how our scholarship process works and how to enhance your CV whilst at university. Most of our tours are held in person and we also offer online tours.
University Advocacy Day
Our Advocacy Days are great opportunities for students interested in exploring a career at the Bar to experience advocacy and ethics training before committing to a Bar course. Attendees receive feedback and tips in a supportive, non-judgmental environment, under the guidance of our practising members. There are also talks from leading barristers on the key elements that make a great advocate, and how the Inn supports our members throughout their journey to the Bar.
