The Bar Standards Board regulates barristers in England and Wales for the public interest.
It is responsible for:
Setting standards of conduct for barristers and authorising barristers to practise;
Monitoring the service provided by barristers to assure quality;
Setting the education and training requirements for becoming a barrister as well as setting continuing training requirements to ensure that barristers’ skills are maintained throughout their careers; and
Handling complaints against barristers and taking enforcement or other action where appropriate
The BSB's functions were originally carried out by the General Council of the Bar, the barristers' representative body, until 2006 when the Bar Council created the BSB as an independent regulator. The Legal Services Board has once - in 2013 - questioned the independence of the BSB from the Bar Council.[1]
The BSB's governing board meets monthly at its headquarters in High Holborn, London, and holds public and private sessions. It has a majority of lay (non-barrister) members and the remainder are barristers. Its chair is Kathryn Stone OBE. The vice-chair is Andrew Mitchell KC. since January 2021. He replaced Naomi Ellenbogen KC who was appointed to the High Court on 2 November 2020.
Members of the BSB's board as of December 2019[2] are:
Barrister Members:
Andrew Mitchell KC, Leslie Thomas KC,
Elizabeth Prochaska,
Adam Solomon KC and
Irena Sabic.
Lay Members:
Alison Allden OBE,
Steven Haines,
Emir Feisal,
Kathryn Stone OBE, and
Stephen Thornton CBE.
