Counsel is the monthly Journal of the Bar of England and Wales. As the Bar Council's own magazine, it is largely written by and for barristers but it is of interest to all lawyers.
An effective campaigning voice and vibrant magazine, it covers the key issues facing the Bar and legal system in an independent, lively and informative fashion, in addition to profiles, conference reports, personal finance, arts reviews, chambers' announcements and the witty and irreverent 'agony uncle' column for lighter moments.
