Counsel magazine: time to jump aboard?

Counsel magazine, the official magazine of the Bar, is seeking expressions of interest from barristers interested in shaping the future of the magazine through its editorial board.

The editorial board's role is to drive the direction of the editorial content of the magazine and to advise the publisher, LexisNexis, or any future partner, on matters affecting its production. In order for the board to do this effectively, it should include representatives from a broad cross-section of the Bar.

The chairman of the Bar appoints members of the board, membership of which will be reviewed every three years with a view to refresh the outlook of the magazine.

If you are interested in taking up this opportunity, please send an expression of interest explaining your suitability for the role and detailing relevant skills and experience along with an attached CV to Steve Rudaini, Head of Communications at the Bar Council: Press@BarCouncil.org.uk..

The deadline for applications is 17:00 on Friday 13 May, 2016. Candidates who have previously applied need not reapply. Your applications are under consideration.
