Strength in Community: The Inner Temple LGBTQ+ Society

The Inner Temple is an institution built on centuries of legal tradition and throughout its history, it has educated and supported generations of barristers. Yet one of the Inn’s greatest strengths lies in its ability to evolve. As the profession continues to change, so too does the responsibility of the Inn to ensure that every member has the opportunity to thrive, contribute, and feel that they belong.

Notes on Pass 2025 / 2026

The Pegasus Access and Support Scheme (PASS) is our flagship outreach programme. PASS is for aspiring barristers from underrepresented socioeconomic backgrounds and is designed to give them contact with the profession through a mini-pupillage, contact with barristers and judges, and spending time at the Inn, as well as the provision of skills workshops. This year, we asked our 2025/26 PASS scholars to provide some feedback about their time on the programme.

Pegasus Scholars: Uganda

On my penultimate day in Uganda, I was having a conversation with my Uber driver, Joseph, about what a wonderful time I had had on my placement, and how sad I was to leave. “I’ll give you a Ugandan name”, he said. “Natukunda.” When I asked what it meant, Joseph replied, “Love”. My ‘new name’ could not have summed up my experience as a Pegasus Scholar in Uganda more perfectly.
