The Inn is delighted to launch Barristers’ Committee Travel Fund.
This scheme aims to support Members of Hall, especially junior practitioners and those on Circuit who practice outside London, to attend social and governance events at their Inn.
Whilst the Inn is undertaking more activities on Circuit, led and supported by the Barristers’ Committee Circuit Reps, the Travel Fund aims to increase participation by a wider proportion of the membership in activities at their Inn.
Once Members have completed their Qualifying Sessions it can be difficult for junior practitioners to find ways to engage and contribute. It is hoped that this twelve-month trial will give more Members the chance to benefit from the networking opportunities and the sense of collegiality attendance at their Inn can foster. Gray’s Inn is the professional home of all those Called to the Bar here and even with thriving and active Circuits this will always be the case.
Who can apply?
This scheme is open to Members of Hall (those who have been Called to the Bar by Gray’s Inn), who do not live in London, preferably who are in their first seven years post Call and who are travelling to the Inn for a social or governance event.
