Middle Temple is one of the four Inns of Court, which have the exclusive right to Call their members to the Bar of England & Wales, i.e., to admit those who have fulfilled the necessary qualifications to the degree of Barrister, which entitles them, after a period of vocational training, to practise as Barristers. The Inn is a professional membership organisation as well as a property landlord with a substantial property portfolio in central London.
