The Inn very much relies upon the support of the Lincoln’s Inn Student Representatives at each of the BPTC Providers, as they provide the link between the Inn and the student body.  The Representatives are encouraged to communicate to the Inn feedback from students on issues concerning their student affiliation to the Inn, and other issues pertinent to their education and training for the Bar. 

General responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Liaising with the Education Department and ensuring students are aware of arrangements for qualifying sessions, mooting and debating and other activities.
• Acting as a line of communication between the Inn and Students.
• Reporting matters of concern affecting the students at their Provider.
• Organising various activities, social and educational (particularly Representatives for Providers outside London).  Funding is provided by the Inn subject to approval.
• At least one representative from each Provider is expected to attend meetings of the Students’ Activities Executive Committee (SAEC), which generally meets three times per year.  All Representatives can attend if they wish.  The Inn will assist with travel costs.
• Representatives will be invited to submit items for the agenda for these meetings.
• Representatives are invited to dine on the Bar table after the November meeting.
