Readership
A reader barrister, commonly known as a reader, is a newly admitted barrister who is undertaking a mandatory period of supervised training and professional development called readership or the reading year.
​
During readership, a reader works under the close supervision and mentorship of one or more experienced barristers, often referred to as tutors. The aim is to provide practical, hands-on training in advocacy, case preparation, and professional conduct within the legal profession.
