Securing stability for the publicly funded Bar and the need for all barristers to modernise in the fast-moving legal landscape have been set at the heart of the agenda for 2010 by the new Bar Council Chairman, Nick Green QC.

“The Bar has made great strides in recent years to improve diversity and equality in the profession. These very positive steps are jeopardised by recent government cuts, which do nothing to make the profession a more attractive place to come for a student saddled with a substantial debt as he or she leaves education and training,” he warned.
