Advocate is the Bar’s national charity that makes it possible for barristers to balance a dedicated practice with making a significant contribution to the community.
We match members of the public who need free legal help with barristers who are willing to donate their time and expertise in deserving cases for those who are unable to obtain legal aid and cannot afford to pay.
Find out why it's so important to Advocate to keep the £35 box ticked when renewing your practising certificate.
Despite the Bar suffering widely as a result of the pandemic, its show of support for our vulnerable applicants was stronger than ever.
We're lucky to have so many great supporters, here are comments about just a few of them for this month's Top Ten newsletter.
