  • What’s in it for us? Introduction to bar and law society benefits of membership and participation in the Bar Issues Commission
  • Running a bar post-Covid-19 – old challenges and new
  • Wellness and the legal profession – the new IBA initiative
  • Solidarity in a time of crisis – how can we support bars in distress?
  • What efforts are bars making at present to improve the public image of the legal profession? Can it in fact be improved and, if so, how?
