Bar Standards Board

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) is the regulatory body for barristers in England and Wales. It ensures that barristers uphold high professional standards and protects the interests of the public. The BSB sets rules for training, ethics, and conduct, overseeing the profession to maintain integrity and competence. It also investigates complaints against barristers and has the authority to take disciplinary action if necessary. By ensuring barristers are qualified and conduct themselves properly, the BSB supports the justice system and helps maintain public trust in legal services.
