Fair Work Distribution and Monitoring for the Bar

Ensuring chambers meet regulatory requirements, set down by the Bar Standards Board, to provide all barristers with an equal chance to succeed through the fair allocation of work.

The Bar Standards Board have set down clear expectations on chambers regarding the equal distribution of unassigned work amongst their barristers, so that everyone has a fair opportunity to advance their career.

This module will help chambers leaders gain an insight into how fair work allocation can be achieved, the challenges they may encounter in setting up a process and provides practical steps to help them develop an approach that best suits chambers and members.

This training has been developed for:

Clerks
Data Diversity Officers (DDOs)
EDI Committee members
Management Committees
