Course

Becoming a Barrister is a collection of resources produced for The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple in conjunction with academics at The Open University and the University of Sheffield.

This third resource – Part 3: Planning an outreach session – is aimed at existing barristers and judges. It provides useful guidance, including a lesson planner to help construct a plan for outreach sessions in school, college and community settings.

Planning an outreach session is divided into four sections:

1. Where to start from.

2. Designing your session.

3. Structuring your session.

4. Delivering your session.

Part 1 of these resources – Learning about barristers – is aimed at students aged 14–16 years old who are interested in a career as a barrister or simply want to find out more about what barristers do and the role they play in the justice system in England and Wales.

Part 2 of these resources – Supporting an aspiring barrister – provides support and guidance about becoming a barrister for parents, carers, families and teachers. This includes a road map to help parents, carers and families support aspiring barristers with their career plans and guidance for teachers on incorporating Part 1 into the national curriculum.
