Welcome to the Bar Society

The Bar Society at the University of Greenwich is for students that want to pursue a career as a barrister or anyone that has a genuine interest in advocacy & the Law. 

The main aim of our society is to make sure you have the necessary knowledge and experience to help you make informed career choices and succeed as an advocate at the bar, by providing help and information about the application process, areas of practice and the realities of life at the bar.

We noticed that the Solicitor route is quite popular among students at the university, but for those wanting to chose the Bar, there was a lack of support and extra-ciricular activities to help strengthen our CVs!

We have many exciting events planned for the upcoming year including talks by professionals, workshops, advocacy competitions, court visits, annual dinners and of course social events too!

If you don't think you would like peruse a career in Bar, that's fine! You can join to gain some legal experience and make new friends! Everyone is welcome.
