A BARRISTER’S JOURNEY: FROM BURNAGE TO THE BAR


31st Jul 2025

Barrister James Miller features in the latest edition of The Messenger, the Manchester Law Society‘s monthly newsletter, with a message to all aspiring lawyers.

In his article, James details his journey to the Bar from his ‘could try harder’ days at school in the nineties, through to university and his initial stint as a solicitor.

James is a mentor for aspiring lawyers through the ‘Future Stars’ programme which has been created by Manchester Law Society’s Educational Foundation Trust to support people wishing to enter the legal profession in the Manchester, Salford and surrounding areas, by offering practical and financial support.
