One Essex Court are holding an invitation only Open Day on 9 July for students who would like to learn more about life at the commercial bar.

The programme for the day is expected to include: 

• Seminars covering a range of topics concerning the commercial bar and the life of a commercial barrister;
• Lunch in Inner Temple Hall, with members of chambers;
• Sessions covering how to become a barrister (including pupillage applications);
• A talk and Q&A with Lord Neuberger, the former President of the Supreme Court; and
• Opportunities for students to mingle with barristers and ask any questions they have about the commercial bar (and the bar more generally).

The cost of travel and accommodation for the event (if required) will be covered by One Essex Court to allow invited students to attend.

One Essex Court wishes to invite two 2nd or final year law students from Exeter that meet the following criteria:

• Excellent academic potential – on track for a 1st class degree;

The chambers are particularly interested to hear from students from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds (although this is not a requirement to be eligible).

If you would like to be considered for one of the two invitations, please email Charlie King – charlie.king@exeter.ac.uk – with a copy of your transcript to date, a short introduction about yourself and an explanation of your reason for wanting to attend the open day by Friday 28 March 2025.
