InnSight Day
We hold InnSight Days for students interested in learning more about a career at the Bar.
InnSight Days include a presentation about the Inn and a talk from a barrister, or recent student. Individual students are welcome to bring a guest with them, or you can attend as part of group. The talk normally takes place between 15:00 and 17:00, and can be attended in person or watched online.
Recordings of our recent events can be found on our YouTube channel.
The next event will take place in October 2026.
Meet the Bar: Panel and Networking Dinners
Each year, during February and March, we invite second-year law students to attend our Meet the Bar: Panel and Networking Dinners, designed to provide valuable insights into a career at the Bar.
What to Expect
These events offer a unique opportunity to attend a series of short, informative talks on key aspects of a career at the Bar, including:
- The self-employed Bar
- The employed Bar
- Training routes to becoming a barrister
- Practical advice for success in the profession
Attendees will also participate in a dinner following the talks, where students can engage in informal discussions with practising barristers and Benchers of the Inn.
How to Attend
Invitations and event details are sent directly to university law departments in advance of the events.
Due to limited capacity, individual registrations are not accepted. Students must register through their university to attend.
These events are an excellent opportunity for aspiring barristers to gain first-hand knowledge and make meaningful connections within the legal profession. If you are an academic with any questions, please email the outreach team at [email protected].

Outreach Opportunites for Practicing Barristers
If you are a practicing Barrister (employed or self-employed) and would be interested in meeting students at university events, visits or Law Fairs, we may have opportunities for you. Quite often we require speakers to discuss their journey to the Bar at events at the Inn, as well as visiting universities around the country. The Inn also works with the Bar Council and other Inns at Law Fairs, and these are fantastic opportunities to share your knowledge with those considering a career at the Bar.
