The Bar Society
Developing the next generation of legal professionals
Welcome to the Bar Society
The Bar Society is open to law and non-law students who are curious about law, advocacy, or just want to sharpen skills that will stand out on any CV. You don't need prior legal knowledge or a clear career plan. Our events are designed to be beginner-friendly while offering plenty of depth for those considering life at the Bar. Joining means becoming part of a community that blends skill-building, social connection, and gives real insight into the legal profession.
What We Do
Exclusive Events
Throughout the year, we host events that range from hands-on advocacy competitions to exclusive court visits and panel discussions with leading lawyers. You could find yourself standing in the Supreme Court one month, learning courtroom etiquette from practising barristers the next.
Skill Development
Our calendar isn't just about law in the classroom. It's about giving students the chance to practice, perform, and gain confidence in public speaking and critical thinking. From mooting competitions to professional training sessions, every event builds transferable skills.
