Standing for justice: our strategic plan 2024-2029

Our five-year strategic plan ‘Standing for justice’ positions us as the leading
representative body for a united Bar that is strong, inclusive, independent and influential.
It helps us to deliver our ambitions for the barrister profession and wider justice system,
and sets out how we will lead, represent and support the Bar over the coming years.

‘Standing for justice’ defines our vision and mission and explains how our values inform
everything we do for the Bar and within our organisation.
