ABOUT US
The Durham University Bar Society was established in 2016. Since then, the society has expanded and diversified, serving over 250 members interested in a vast array of practice areas and routes to the Bar. We are proud to inspire and support law and non-law students alike and are thankful to all Chambers, Barristers, Judges, and Professors who support the society and all its events.
