We are well aware that an old institution with its traditions and formality can appear daunting, so we can provide students with a sponsor to befriend them, and help them understand how the Inn and the Bar work. Sponsors are barristers who have volunteered to take a personal interest in the progress of a number of students, their spondees.

They are not intended to act as tutors or welfare officers, nor can they offer pupillages, but they are always ready to be consulted when spondees need advice, even if only to suggest who is the right person to apply for further help.
