Readership

153 Phillip are a collection of leading Barristers committed to excellence and diversity in the legal practice. Their experience and expertise in a wide range of practice areas makes Readerships on the floor a sought after position.

The floor looks for outstanding candidates who would be suitable, in due course, to join the floor as members. Readers are required to have a Tutor on the floor as well as encouraged to have an off-floor Tutor. For the best chance of securing a spot, prospective candidates should apply at least 12-months prior to commencing their Bar Readers Course by making an expression of interest. Applications should be sent via email to the Clerk and include a cover letter outlining why you wish to join the floor and who you wish to read with, a current CV and at least two referees.

For May intakes Chambers should receive your application by 1 June; for a September intake by 1 October.

 Having trouble finding a Tutor on the floor or have any questions regarding the Readership process; speak with our Clerk for guidance.
