📢📢📢 PLEASE SHARE MISSING WIG AND GOWN

My wig, gown and lovely wig tin have gone missing from the advocates room in St Albans Magistrates Court on 26/2/24. It was in a Gray's Inn black bag.

If anyone has come across it or can help to return it I would appreciate that...

Sharing because legal Twitter rallied and helped me find my brooch... Please help get this gorgeous tin back!
(Which is stunning so Emma Fielding please share where that is from! Although I'd love a plain wig tin to then paint myself)

Absolutely no one: 👇🏼

We are looking for three more volunteers: two who specialise in crime and one in human rights. If you would like to help, please register below 😊

If anyone can help, just with one hour of your time, this is a very worthwhile cause!! #pupillage

Barristers! 🆘

Are YOU a #barrister with an hour’s free time? Please can you come interview one of our disabled aspiring barristers?

We are particularly looking for Civil, Commercial and Human Rights practitioners.

Please share far & wide!

We are very thankful for the support we've already for our Mock Interview Scheme from members of the Bar!

However, due to the high number of interviewees, we need more volunteers. If you could offer one mock pupillage interview, please register here: forms.gle/mmH5Qn7zmNA7Hh…

Our Chair Konstantina Nouka discussed the aims of our current research project examining accessibility in courts with the Law Society Gazette.

If you want to assist us in fulfilling the aims of the Court Accessibility Study, please fill out this form: forms.gle/aHNMvWFBqbi5PK…

Earlier this week, I was interviewed by the Law Society Gazette to discuss the Court Accessibility Project that Bringing (Dis)Ability to the Bar is currently conducting. If you want to assist BDABar with data collection, please fill out this form: forms.gle/nndwrME5DwCX9W…

As I am preparing for pupillage, I have to check whether courts are accessible since there is very limited information available. BDABar has recognised the lack of available information & aims to create a court accessibility map. Thus, please fill out the form below. 🙂
