Membership Application

Membership categories depend on the members' level of experience: Associates, Barristers and Masters. Barristers are experienced lawyers, who may have as much as 20 plus years of experience, or sometimes as little as five years experience. Associates generally are younger lawyers, some of whom have experience, and some of whom are new to the practice of law.

Attorneys in good standing can apply to membership in the Inn and shall be designated as either Associates or Barristers by vote by the Inn’s Board if so recommended for membership by the Inn’s Membership Committee. Elevation from Barrister to Master or to join the Inn as Master are both by invitation only. The deadline to apply for membership is June 1st of every year since the Inn year runs from September through May.

Applications are open for the 2024-2025 Inn year.
