What is it like working as a barrister in the 21st century? The
independent Bar has transformed in the last 30 years into a
commercialised, enterprising profession. Based on interviews with
and observation of barristers and chambers' staff, this book
identifies key changes that have taken place at the Bar and how
these are reshaping and reformulating barristers' professionalism
and working culture. This is the first empirical overview of the
depth, scope and effects of multiple reforms that have been imposed
on the profession. It explores how this once unified profession has
fragmented, as the lived experiences of barristers in different
practice areas have diverged. Highly specialised sets of chambers
now operate like businesses, whilst others, who are dependent on
legal aid funding, struggle to survive. This book offers a unique
examination of different sites of change: how the chambers model
has evolved, how entrepreneurial barristers market themselves, how
aspirant law students prepare to enter the profession and how
regulatory and procedural reforms have imposed managerial
constraints on practitioners. The conclusion considers what the
far-reaching changes mean for the prospects of the Bar in England
and Wales.
