Barrister

Welcome to BarSoc, a society created to support those wishing to pursue a career as a Barrister.

Whether you study law, or any other degree discipline, if you want, or are considering a career as a Barrister then this is the society for you!

A principle aim of BarSoc is to increase diversity and inclusion across the profession and members are welcome from right across the University.

We want to provide you with the opportunity to gain exposure to practising Barristers and career development through a range of activities from formal dinners at the Inns of Court, to informal activities such as bowling and social networking.
