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 2025/26 dates can be found below. Our Spring term 2026 dates and locations will be added once confirmed. Please note that our in-person events are only open to those aged 18 or older.

Our past online event recordings can be found in a YouTube playlist here. These include panel discussions on getting into criminal and family law, getting into chancery and commercial law, and taking alternative routes to the Bar.
