Notice to all Prospective Members
The Inn normally requires that all prospective members join the Inner Temple by the 31st May in the year in which they plan to begin the BPTC. For example, if someone intends to commence the BPTC in September 2013, they would normally be required to join the Inner Temple by the 31st May 2013. However, due to the new introduction of the Bar Course Aptitude Test this year, the Inner Temple has decided to extend the deadline until 31st July 2013. This is due to the exceptional circumstances of the introduction of the BCAT and the Inn will strictly adhere to the May deadline in the future.
Please read the notes accompanying the form carefully before completing it.
The Application Forms consist of:
- Inner Temple Application Form for Admission, which requires you to declare:
- Your occupation
- Any previous convictions or bankruptcy charges
- That you have not applied to join another Inn
- Two Certificates from Referees: these should be from people of standing (former tutors, employers etc)
- Ethnic Minority Monitoring Form
- Bar Council Form (a copy of this form is sent on to the Bar Council for their records)
The cost of joining an Inn is £100 and is a one-off payment.
Applications should be submitted to the Inn by 31 May in the year in which you wish to commence your BPTC.
