The Bar and Young Bar Conference 2020 is entitled ‘Forward thinking: Bar of the Future’, and will be held on 18 to 21 November.
For the first time, delegates will be able to sign up for the whole four-day event or for individual sessions.
Speakers include practitioners, former judges and the Lord Chancellor and Shadow Lord Chancellor. Topics include Race at the Bar, sustainability of the profession both at home and internationally, ethics and advocacy, resilience, best practice for courts adopting virtual technology and the future of chambers.
Amanda Pinto QC, Chair of the Bar, said: ‘This year has presented extraordinary challenges for us all but it has also galvanised us to change things for the better more quickly across the profession and the justice system.
‘By discussing what shape the Bar should take and what the best delivery of justice looks like in 2021 and beyond, we can help to mould and maintain the future of our profession in the interests of those who need us. This conference is not to be missed by barristers who are invested in the future of our profession, nor anyone with an interest in justice.’
