Middle Temple Midland Circuit Garden Party

This year, the Middle Temple Midland Circuit Garden Party will be held on the Terrace at the Grand Hotel, Birmingham. This event will provide the perfect opportunity to engage with other Middle Templars on the Midland Circuit and for acquaintances to be made or renewed.

If you are living, practising, or studying on the Midland Circuit, please do join us and bring your guests for what promises to be a wonderful evening.

The Qualifying Session will be held at St Philips Chambers shortly before the Garden Party. Further details below. Students will need to attend the lecture in order to claim a QS. 

Legal Research Training

It will also review the practice direction on the citation of authorities, discuss where to find unreported cases, and provide information about navigating the free legal web.

Students and transferring lawyers need to attend the whole event in order to claim a Qualifying Session.
