The role of a Barrister necessitates more than representing clients in court or repetitively drafting documents.

There are over 15,000 Barristers in the UK, and I hope to be a part of this statistic. A Barrister is an educator and inspiring role model; hence, as someone with a desire and interest to not only teach and inspire others, but learn new things every day, I am certain this will be the right profession for me.…
