Insight Events

Thinking of becoming a barrister?

The Inner Temple regularly hosts events that give an insight into the profession, aptly named Insight Events. Hear from the Outreach team about the Inn's scholarships and hear from a panel of practising barristers and judges about their journey to the Bar. At in-person events there is also a networking reception, where you can interact with barristers, judges and other aspiring barristers.

It is an opportunity for university students, graduates, and career changers to ask questions and learn more about routes to the Bar.

Our 2024/25 dates can be found below. Our Spring term 2025 dates and locations will be added once confirmed. Please note that our in-person events are only open to those aged 18 or older.

The recording of our online Insight event, which took place on 14 March 2024, can be viewed here.
