Aspiring Barristers runs two seasonal essay competitions each year taking place during the Spring and Winter months and provides an excellent opportunity for aspiring student barristers to enhance, refine and put to the test, their written advocacy skills.

Entries must be written in accordance with the relevant rules applicable which can be found here. The relevant Cover Page must also be attached to each entry.

The winning essay and runner-up essay will be decided by Aspiring Barristers' Judging Panel, comprising of practising Barristers, KCs and/or Judges. A 'highly commendable' essay will also be recognised by the Panel. 

Further information regarding when entries for the next seasonal essay competition are being accepted will be featured here and posted across Aspiring Barristers' social media platforms in due course.
 
Participation in essay competitions is available exclusively for Aspiring Barristers Members only.
