Report by Bar Council’s race working group says ethnic minority barristers are paid less and are at greater risk of bullying
Barristers from ethnic minority backgrounds in England and Wales find it harder to enter law and progress their careers, are paid less and are at greater risk of bullying and harassment, a landmark report has found.
The race working group of the Bar Council, the profession’s representative body, found that barristers from ethnic minority backgrounds, particularly black and Asian women, face systemic obstacles to building and progressing a sustainable and rewarding career at the bar.
