Leeds
“As a Polish career-changer with caring responsibilities, having the chance to attend The Inner Temple Education Day in Leeds was genuinely invaluable. Being able to access such a high-quality event locally made it far more accessible and manageable. The day was both engaging and practical – from learning about inclusivity to hearing “10 Ways to Annoy a Judge.” It was also a chance to test my advocacy skills, advocate for myself, and speak with local judge, HHJ Clark, from whom I was able to request a marshalling opportunity. What once felt like an unreachable dream suddenly felt possible. Thank you.”

Birmingham
“Overall the event was excellent. The CV workshop was particularly useful.”
Cardiff
“Everyone at the event was great and receiving the information first hand really helped regarding how to become involved in a career at the Bar.”
Leeds
“Jess is an absolute credit to Inner Temple. She is warm, approachable and meticulously organised. She did her best not to fill our heads with lots of jargon and kept things simple. I loved this approach. Sometimes people can throw acronyms around and it just gets confusing. The panel members were perfect. The location couldn’t be better and the drinks and food provided were splendid.”
Newcastle
“I wanted to thank the team at Inner Temple for their efforts in bringing QS’s to students outside of London. It must take an enormous effort on their part to do it, so I just wanted to say thanks!”
Manchester
“Very well presented and informative allowing the engagement on a more personal level with members who have already reached the Bar.”
