Ranked 7th in the UK in the Guardian University Guide 2020, Durham University Law School is a world leader in providing legal ... education and research. The Durham University Bar Society parallels this, with a dedication to developing understandings of the Bar and related careers. We are also thrilled to have Lady Hale on board as our Patron and look forward to her joining us in the future. Through the hosting of various events and discussions with renowned judges, barristers and legal professionals, DUBS provides the necessary career opportunities to allow students to flourish during their time at the University, and potentially follow a path into the competitive field of the Bar. In addition to career events, the society facilitates networking and social opportunities with legal professionals, to allow for students to engage with other members and learn more about the community of the Bar. Events include: visits to the National Pupillage Fair in London; talks from judges and barristers regarding their path to the Bar; workshops for BPTC, GDL, Inns of Court Scholarship and Pupillage applications; social events; mock trials; and much more. The Durham University Bar Society has already won the Durham Law School Society of the Year Award and continues to aspire to such heights in providing members and non-members alike with a unique opportunity to access careers at the Bar. read more
