To represent the common interests of members of the Bar. It manages a range of issues affecting the day to day practice of barristers including accommodation, clerking and fees. It represents and acts for the Bar in its relations with others. |
| (c) |
To represent the public interest. |
It addresses issues affecting the administration of justice
and the maintenance of the rule of law and places at the disposal
of the community its special skills and knowledge about relevant
issues.
