Joining an Inn Before passing on to thenext stage, it is recommended that you should become a member of an Inn of Court (although you may have done so at an earlier point in the academic stage). You can only apply to join one Inn. All offer roughly the same support: a library, educational activities, mooting societies, somewhere to eat, common rooms, gardens. More importantly they all have a senior member of staff to deal with students and pupils. The Inns all run "sponsorship" schemes too. These link students with senior barristers in relevant areas of specialisation-another valuable source of information. Your choice of Inn may therefore be guided by issues such as atmosphere and character or; on a more practical note, the number and size of scholarships and awards on offer. Different Inns have different awards and scholarships to suit different needs. Details of these are provided on a separate sheet.
