Bar of Ireland

The Bar of Ireland is the professional body representing barristers—lawyers who specialize in advocacy, legal research, and providing expert legal opinions. It functions as a membership organization that upholds standards, provides training, and supports its members throughout their careers. Barristers in Ireland are typically self-employed and often work in collaboration with solicitors, who handle client relationships and case preparation. The Bar of Ireland ensures that barristers maintain high ethical and professional standards, contributes to legal policy discussions, and promotes the rule of law within the country.
