One Essex Court Talk - "The Bar: What's it like for women?"
Successful women barristers from a leading set of commercial chambers, specialising in commercial litigation and arbitration, talk about their lives and their work.
THE BAR: WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR WOMEN?
Fewer women than we would like are applying for a career at the Commercial Bar. In order to encourage women to consider this career, we are holding an information event on
Tuesday 27th February 2018 (7th Week)
18:00 - 20:00
White & Case Room, Law Faculty, OX1 3UL
Three female members of Chambers of varying seniority will give short talks about their experiences of life and work at the Commercial Bar followed by a question & answer session. There will then be an opportunity for students to talk informally over drinks to those and several other members of Chambers and clerks. The event is open to women and men and to law and non-law students. A flyer for the event is attached. Students can book their place by emailing events@oeclaw.co.uk
The Bar offers great careers for women. This is a unique opportunity to find out more.
For those who are unable to attend the event in Oxford, we will be holding a similar event in London on Tuesday 13 March 2018 which will be live-streamed. Oxford students are welcome to attend the London event or to watch the live-stream. For details, please see our website www.oeclaw.co.uk/pupillage/women-at-the-bar
