Organised by

Middle Temple Young Barristers' Association (MTYBA)

MTYBA is an organisation of young barristers whose role is to help ease the transition from Middle Temple student into the first seven years of practice at the Bar.

It has three aims: to assist those who have been Called but who have yet to obtain pupillage; to encourage and support members undergoing pupillage; and to support young (though not necessarily in age) barristers in their first seven years of practice. MTYBA endeavours to represent the interests of Middle Temple's young barristers at every stage, with a particularly keen focus on acting as a voice for young barristers on issues touching the profession as a whole.

MTYBA regularly puts on a range of events, opportunities and awards schemes for a variety of MTYBA constituents. We do all of this in the hope that we can help Middle Templars as they set out on the path to becoming successful barristers.
