The Bar Council has announced that it is commissioning a review aimed at tackling “inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour” prevalent within the Bar. This move is a response to a report that was recently published, which contained concerning findings.
According to a study endorsed by The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, about one in every eight members have been on the receiving end or have witnessed instances of bullying, harassment, or discrimination. Such instances occurred while they were utilising a service or attending an event at the Inn. The original report provides more details on the study and the emerging issues at the Bar.
This summary is based on the limited information available from the paywalled source and does not attempt to extrapolate or surmise additional details. It provides an insight into the mounting concerns around professional conduct within the Bar and the steps taken to address these issues.
