Bar Council committee vacancies

Young barristers' committee members

The young barristers’ committee (YBC) is recruiting for new members to help us champion and support junior barristers. 

We are the voice of junior barristers at the Bar Council. We ensure that the things that matter to junior members are heard by Bar Council, Government and the wider legal sector. We do this by conducting research and issuing guidance on issues important to our members, engaging with and informing Bar Council outputs and priorities and by building a strong community of junior barristers who represent the whole of the junior Bar. 

We would welcome applications from all of those who have been practising for fewer than 7 years. We are particularly interested in ensuring that our committee is as diverse as the barristers we represent and welcome applicants from a ranges of practice areas, geographic location and protected characteristics.

To apply, please send a short statement of no more than 200 words about your suitability for the role and explain what issues you would like the YBC to work on to [email protected] by Monday 17 March 2025. Similarly, please get in touch should have any questions about the process.
