A Career as a Barrister - a podcast by Frances Ridout, Kerry Jarred, Simon Reichwald, Nigel Spencer

The title Barrister conjours up all kinds of images, and it is easy to think careers as a barrister always take one form.  But that is not always the case.   

In this episode the ReImagine Law team are joined by Angharad Price, a Welsh, employed Barrister, at the Equality Human Rights Commission.  Angharad talks about how her non-traditional background, has been a catalyst for a successful career at the Bar.  This episode encourages listeners to think of the variety of ways that barristers practice and Angharad goes through some of the student questions she addressed at this year’s pupillage fair. 

This episode encourages listeners to undertake some practical actions after listening to the episode. 

1. Log on to the Supreme Court website and watch a court hearing. 


2. Think about other ways that you can get work experience – it might be different but there are still lots of opportunities to attend online events.
