CHAMPIONING DIVERSITY AT THE BAR

At Queen Mary Bar Society, we are committed to make the Bar represent and reflect our student population (that 91% of us are from state schools; 62% are BAME; 42% are the first into Higher Education in their families; and 27% are from households where the annual taxable income is less than £15,000 per annum); inclusivity is one of our fundamental core values, it is intrinsic to who we are.
