Barristers are lawyers who predominantly practice as advocates in the UK legal profession. They draft opinions (i.e. advice) and are instructed by solicitors and those who have been accredited through the direct access scheme can also be instructed by members of the public. Barristers are traditionally members of four associations known as inns of court, namely Lincoln’s Inn, Gray’s Inn, Inner Temple and Middle Temple. At the penultimate part of their qualification process they are “Called to the Bar” in other words officially welcomed as members of these associations. Following this they would either need to be either be exempted from or complete pupillage a period in which they are trained by senior practitioners on the job. This is also subject to having initially completed the requisite legal academic and vocational qualifications.
Fully qualified barristers have rights of audience in all courts and tribunals in the UK. Employment tribunals and the Employment Appeal Tribunal are part of this group.
