THE Social Mobility Foundation and the Bar Council have, for the second year, worked together to enable 34 bright A level students from low income backgrounds to spend a week finding out about life at the Bar. The students spent a week shadowing barristers at work, touring the Inns of the Court and attending a Crown Court. The students had an insight into the work of both employed and self employed barristers including meeting clients, reviewing papers and each was paired with a nominated barrister.
