THE BAR, EXPLAINED

A closer look at becoming a barrister

BECOMING A BARRISTER

Working as a barrister is a distinct path within the legal profession, but it is not always clear what it involves or how to get there.

In this session, you will hear directly from Uthra Ramachandran and Lee-Ann Walsh, who will share what the work looks like day to day, how the Bar works in practice, and what to consider if you are exploring this option.

It is a useful way to get a clearer picture of the role before making any decisions.
