Bar Council joins the e-volution

Posted 12/04/2007 by The Daily Diary

Another week, another innovation as the Bar continues to modernise itself with all the conviction of a middle-aged divorcee squeezing into her daughter’s size-zero Top Shop crop-top.

The venerable body this week launched its brand spanking new website in a move that does all sorts of exciting things to improve diversity and widen access to the Bar – as conclusively demonstrated by the picture on the homepage of a youngish black guy looking at his watch (because the law moves so fast, or something) instead of a middle-aged white bloke in a bowler hat.

The site also includes a spleen-venting blog from chairman Geoffrey Vos QC, where the 3 Stone Buildings heavyweight takes on hard-hitting issues such as how nice the new Bar Council website is.

Comments

Yes... curious picture. I observed on my own blog that the image was unfortunate - not for reasons of diversity - but because the barrister was clearly late...disorganised and flustered. No Bar Kitemark for him, I think.

Also - the comments section doesn't work I have collated a few observations from well known law bloggers.
