Black Excellence at the Bar is not just an event; it's a commitment to creating a more inclusive workplace. Tailored exclusively for Black Heritage students, this event offers support by providing knowledge and essential connections for aspiring barristers on their professional journey.
According to our research only 3% of Black Heritage students express an interest in becoming barristers after university. That's why targetjobs has partnered with some of the UKs leading chambers to host Black Excellence at the Bar, which is designed to break down barriers and shape your future.
Grab this opportunity to begin your legal career. Pre register now for Black Excellence at the Bar in April 2025, and take the first step toward a future where diversity thrives in the heart of the legal world.
