Bullying at the Bar – A Diminishing or Endemic Problem? (An Inns of Court Alliance for Women event)

Date
Location
Sherrard Room, The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple
Waiting list

The Harriet Harman 2025 report for the Bar Council on bullying and harassment at and of the Bar has received a mixed reaction from the Bar. Some say the report captured the essence of a major problem at the Bar or in certain parts of the Bar. Others say those reporting to the enquiry on which the report was based were a self-selecting group which did not represent the Bar as a whole and led to a misrepresentation of life at the Bar.

This session is aimed at all at the Bar – whether pupils, juniors, or silks, and of course at both men and women.  It will take place as a panel discussion led by Middle Temple’s Co-convenor Ruth Kirby KC with the panel comprised of those who have experienced bullying at the Bar and other members of the Bar who hold informed views on the issues.  On registration, there will be an opportunity for attendees to suggest issues to be tackled during the discussion.

Confirmed speakers for this event include:

Charlotte Kilroy KC
Barbara Mills KC
Darren Howe KC
Susannah Burley
Deshpal Panesar KC

The event will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
