Inns of Court

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006

All UK barristers are members of one of the Inns of Court, of which there are four: Licoln's Inn, Inner Temple, Middle Temple, and Gray's Inn. To be entitled to call oneself a barrister, one must be `called to the Bar' by one of the Inns. The term `Inn' is used in the sense of a Hostel, a place where one can sleep and eat. Eating is still an important function of the Inns; prospective barristers are required to dine in hall a certain number of times to qualify. The Inns also have the important function of `disbarring', that is expelling, errant barristers for misconduct.
