Routes into law: seven stories for Social Mobility Day

St Philips Chambers named Bronze Pro Bono Patron of Advocate

Richard Atkins KC elected Head of Chambers

This week, two students join us for the Bar Placement Scheme, where they will spend four days shadowing our barristers in Chambers and in court. Nay Dyari and William Mason will also receive advocacy training from the Inns of Court College of Advocacy.

Places on the scheme are awarded on the strength of the application, demonstrated commitment to a career at the Bar, and social mobility criteria. The Bar Council delivers the scheme with Pathways to Law and the Social Mobility Foundation, and it remains one of the most practical ways to show students what this profession is really like from the inside.

We are delighted to welcome Nay and William to Chambers and to support the Bar Placement Scheme again this summer.
