The Present Day
Although the education of students for the Bar has now passed to outside institutions the involvement of the Inns in education is as important as ever. The Inn offers training to its student members to augment the teaching at their formal courses. Middle Temple Advocacy gives training to newly called barristers in pupillage, and thereafter under the New Practitioners Programme. As continuing professional training extends through the profession the Inn will, with the other Inns, become involved in it.
While the syllabus for the first students to come to the Middle Inn of the Temple would have little relevance today the education of those who profess the law at the Bar remains a central function of the Middle Temple today.
