Joining the Inn

Please note that as of 1st September 2009, in accordance with The Bar Training Regulations, there will be some changes to the Admission Declaration and the Certificates of Good Character. We will unfortunately not be able to accept any new applications, if submitted with the old forms, after this date. Please contact the Treasury Office for further information.

As you may be aware, our application forms have not been available for some time.

 

The reason for this is that we realised at the beginning of the academic year that the notices included within our existing documentation required ammendment. As this raised some complex issues, the update has taken longer than initially anticipated. This process is nearing its conclusion and we are now able to issue the admission forms. We apologise for the inconvenience this will have caused.

Students may apply for admission to one of the Inns of Court from the second year of their Law Degree onwards, but must be admitted before they can be registered on and attend a Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC). Applications for admission must to be submitted by the end of the May immediately preceding the start of BPTC.

Application to Middle Temple is a straight forward process. The Application Form must be completed, signed, and returned to the Treasury Office.

Once admitted to the Middle Temple, you will be allocated a practising member of the Inn as a sponsor, who can assist and advise you in practical matters such as applying for pupillage.


Please make sure that you fully complete all the forms, remembering to sign and date them. A General Guide for Students has been written to give a better idea of how the Inn works.
