Practice on Circuit – a glass ceiling or a glass slipper?
Join us for a panel led discussion organised by the Inn’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee, regarding life and practice at the Bar and Bench on Circuit – the challenges, the strategies to overcome them and the opportunities.
Hear first-hand experiences from practitioners and judges, gain practical insights into building a successful career outside London, and discover how practice on Circuit can offer unique opportunities for professional growth, progression and work-life balance.
The panel for this event will include the following speakers:
- The Honourable Ms Justice Harris – Appointed a High Court Judge (Family Division) in 2024.
- Tom Schofield KC (No5, Birmingham) – Tom was appointed King’s Counsel in 2025.
- Ilana Davis (Citadel Chambers, Birmingham) – Ilana completed pupillage on circuit in 2020 at Citadel Chambers and continues to practice on the Midland Circuit.
This event will be held on the Midland Circuit and is open to members from all four Inns of Court. We welcome attendees at all levels of seniority, including students and pupils.
