The Inn has four officers. The Treasurer is the head of the Society and presides at meetings of Council. There are also the Master of the Library, the Dean of the Chapel, the Keeper of the Black Book, and the Master of the Walks. The following are the Officers of the Society for 2012:
| Treasurer: | The Rt Hon Dame Janet Smith DBE |
| Master of the Library: | The Lord Grabiner QC |
| Keeper of the Black Book and Dean of the Chapel: | G W Jaques Esq |
| Master of the Walks: | Sir William Blackburne |
The immediate past Treasurer is His Honour Judge Reid QC.
The normal course is for a bencher to hold each office for a year, starting with the most junior and progressing to the Treasurership. There are elections to each office each year, the electorate being the ordinary benchers of the Inn, ie, those benchers who are neither honorary nor emeritus.
The offices and their titles have been settled since the seventeenth century and allow the holders to gain experience of different aspects of the administration of the Inn before assuming the Treasurership.
