Welcome to the Bar Society

The Bar Society at the University of Greenwich is the perfect community for students aspiring to become barristers or anyone with a genuine passion for advocacy and the law. Whether you're considering a career at the bar or simply eager to explore legal advocacy, our society is here to support your journey.
Our primary goal is to equip you with the essential knowledge and practical experience needed to make confident, informed career decisions and succeed as an advocate. Through engaging events, workshops, debates, mock trials/mooting and guest speaker sessions, we provide valuable insights into the application process, various areas of legal practice, and the realities of life at the bar.
We also officially re-launched Law School Journal 'Sui Generis' in 24/25 both printed and online version, which is must-read for anyone who wants to know about Law & Criminology school and university life more. In 25/26, there is going to be second edition. For those interested to contribute, get in touch with Dr Louise Hewitt.
Joining the Bar Society gives you unique opportunities to develop vital advocacy skills, network with legal professionals, and gain firsthand experience that will set you apart. We’re dedicated to helping you navigate your legal career path and turn your ambitions into reality.
If you're passionate about law and advocacy, don’t miss out on this chance to grow, learn, and connect. Become a member of the University of Greenwich Bar Society today and take your first step toward a successful future at the bar!
Passion + Justice = Yours Legal Career.
