 Today's Highlighted Video Story: Saturday 15 October in London for the Pupillage Fair 2022. Find out everything you need to know about a career at the Bar, get advice from barristers, discuss your prospects with pupillage providers, and find out how to build your CV and access sources of funding and support.

Focus of the Day Article: Members of the Criminal Bar Association have voted in favour of an indefinite strike, escalating the industrial action that the courts have witnessed since June. The decision follows failed negotiations with the Ministry of Justice, with Dominic Raab still having not met with the CBA and the government standing firm in its position. The MoJ have expressed their disapproval of the decision, labelling it ‘irresponsible’. The CBA, alternatively, have accused the government of overseeing a ‘recklessly underfunded’ criminal justice system. In response to the decision, Raab has proposed granting more solicitors rights of audience, allowing more to advocate in the Crown court. The strike is due to commence on 5 September, coinciding with the announcement of the new Conservative party leader. Full story - UK Human Rights Blog
