Home › Becoming a Barrister
You can join an Inn of Court if you are studying a qualifying law degree, or studied on or have been accepted onto a law conversion course, or have been exempted from or have successfully completed the academic stage of training.
Depending on the pathway to qualification you are following, you will have a specific point at which you need to join an Inn of Court. This is a requirement of the Bar Standards Board - more information on when to join an Inn can be found on their website.
In 2025, the Inn intends to make awards to a total value of just over £2,000,000. These funds are distributed between the Bar Course, GDL, Internships, Pupillage and Disability awards.
