The students mingled with undergraduates from other Universities over tea before sitting down to an afternoon of very interesting talks, given by practising barristers from both the employed and the self-employed bar. The aim of the talks was not to try to recruit students to the Inn or the Bar as a profession, but to give them a realistic view of life as a Barrister and the challenges they may meet along the way.
The talks were followed by a drinks reception, giving students the opportunity to network with Members of the Inn, including the speakers, other barristers and judges. Everyone then took their places in the Old Hall for a formal dinner with speeches.
The students all thoroughly enjoyed the event. Scott Hughes, a first year Law student said," I got the chance to discuss some great topics with barristers, judges and also in the presence of Lord Neuberger. It has definitely strengthened my decision and increased my determination to become a barrister."
Diana Murariu, also a first year Law student, commented, " The event was a great experience. Besides being a lot of fun, we got the chance to talk with barristers and judges and they gave us useful advice. It definitely helped me to make a decision regarding my future, and now I know what I need to do next to achieve my goals."
