Who is eligible to apply?
While anyone may apply, students are not likely to be successful unless they have participated in at least two (2) interscholastic competitions.

Students who have completed in at least two (2) interscholastic competitions should also participate in one or more of the following activities to distinguish themselves from similarly-situated candidates: 
    1. Intramural competition 
    2. Administration of an advocacy program 
    3. Teaching program for brief writing/oral advocacy 
    4. Brief writing and/or oral advocacy courses 

Who selects the students?
 A faculty committee meets in the spring of each year to select students who are within six (6) months of graduation (i.e., the committee will consider December 2007 and May 2008 graduates when it meets in the spring of 2008). Only graduating students or recent grads are eligible. Because the committee meets each spring, it is important for students graduating in December to remember to complete an application when they become available after graduation.

Names are sent to the National Order of Barristers during January, February, March, April, or May.

How many students are selected?
A maximum of ten (10) Barristers are selected each year.
