Applying for Silk: A Joint Event between the Inns of Court Alliance for Women and King’s Counsel Appointments

Join the Inns of Court Alliance for Women and King’s Counsel Appointments for a panel discussion looking at the process of applying for silk. Questions will be taken on the night and are welcome in advance, please send them to events@graysinn.org.uk. The event will be followed by a reception and networking. This event is open to all who are in the zone and thinking of applying for silk but would like to hear from the KCA, ask questions and hear more about the process. The focus will be on issues which may face women applicants in particular but men are most welcome to attend as well.
