MyBar portal launched

MyBar, a self-service website for barristers and chambers, has been launched by the Bar Council and Bar Standards Board (BSB). It allows barristers to renew their practising certificates, update regulatory information, pay the Bar Representation Fee, manage subscriptions and applications and book training. MyBar replaces Barrister Connect, the previous system for renewing practising certificates. Barristers will be able to access the Bar Council Ethics Hub, Wellbeing page and BarTalk e-newsletter. Malcolm Cree, Chief Executive of the Bar Council, said: ‘Until now, barristers have been directed to different online locations depending on their requirements. Now, it is all in one place.’
