Chancery Bar Careers Fair Saturday 17 November 2012 The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn 8 South Square, Gray’s Inn London WC1R 5ET

Your future: chancery barrister? The Chancery Bar You are about to embark on an important stage in your life: asking yourself the million dollar question as to what the next 40 years hold. One of the career options you may want to consider as a law student is becoming a barrister. There are many different areas of law in which you can specialise at the Bar and that choice itself can be overwhelming. This is where the Chancery Bar Association would like to help. With the Chancery Bar Careers Fair we aim to shed some light on what the Chancery Bar is, how to kick start a career at the Bar, provide information on the different areas of work and give you a platform to mingle with different sets of chambers. This leaflet provides you with lots of useful information on the Fair, as does our website at www.chba.org.uk If you would like to register, please click above. We look forward to seeing you on the 17th November. Best wishes, Timothy Fancourt QC Chairman, The Chancery Bar Association
