The Bar Standards Board

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) is an independent organization that regulates barristers—lawyers who represent clients in court and provide legal advice in England and Wales. It sets professional standards, ensures barristers maintain high ethical conduct, and oversees their training and licensing. By doing so, the BSB helps maintain public confidence in the legal system, ensuring barristers are qualified, competent, and adhere to the rules designed to promote fairness and justice.
