This afternoon gave me the opportunity to network with Barristers and Judges in a range of different areas in the legal sector. I was able to speak with judges at the criminal bench to Barristers in the Government Legal Department who wrote many of the legislation we read. This afternoon gave me an invaluable insight into the different sectors and the route I may want to take after graduating from Exeter. We engaged in networking opportunities with the other student attendees, speaking with a range of different universities and gained insight into studying law at different levels. The afternoon contained a panel event, where we were able to hear from members of the Inn, from a pupil barrister to a criminal judge. The evening ended with a domus dinner, where we networked with barristers in the commercial sector and one of whom who spoke of her less-common journey of changing from the solicitor route to the Bar which was insightful to learn of. The evening opened my eyes to the variety of life at the Bar.<\/p>\n<cite>Phoebe Blakeborough<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read Phoebe Blakeborough&#8217;s experience<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":6439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Honourable Society of Lincoln&#039;s Inn event reflection - Exeter Law School<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Honourable Society of Lincoln&#039;s Inn event reflection - Exeter Law School\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Read Phoebe Blakeborough&#039;s experience\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Exeter Law School\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-16T13:07:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-16T13:07:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2026\/03\/Phoebe-Blackborough-Lincolns-Inn-930.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"930\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"The Law School\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"The Law School\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/\",\"name\":\"The Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn event reflection - Exeter Law School\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2026\/03\/Phoebe-Blackborough-Lincolns-Inn-930.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-16T13:07:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-16T13:07:38+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/ae1bed489f384f447748a4eff91e78b9\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/2026\/03\/16\/the-honourable-society-of-lincolns-inn-event-reflection\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2026\/03\/Phoebe-Blackborough-Lincolns-Inn-930.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/lawbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2026\/03\/Phoebe-Blackborough-Lincolns-Inn-930.jpg\",\"width\":930,\"height\":500,\"caption\":\"Four people dressed in formal clothing standing together in an ornate hall with wooden panelled walls, red upholstered chairs, and statues on plinths.
