This has been a labour of love for the past 12 months. I have been collaborating with 8 other barristers (and many other supporters) to produce something which (we hope) will be useful & interesting and, most importantly, will help bring about change in the bar’s approach to E&D

This looks like an excellent career progression event. Featuring @BrieQC talking about judicial appointments, two @GovernmentLegal deputy directors talking about AG Panel appointments and @brynmoradams in the chair.
Join us for our latest panel event discussing all things appointments. The panel are particularly well-placed to provide tips for barristers from non-traditional and underepresented backgrounds applying for appointments! https://t.co/Y1DFVV1n9O
