The Kalisher Trust

“Diligent, skilled and committed advocates are essential to the smooth running of the courts, and the effective administration of justice.

I was a great admirer of Michael Kalisher, and I warmly support the continuing work of the Trust in providing financial help to young members of the criminal Bar.”

The Rt. Hon Lord Judge, Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales.

The Kalisher Trust exists to help people qualify as barristers and begin their professional career at the Criminal Bar.

Set up in 1996, the Kalisher Trust helps talented students otherwise unable to come to the criminal Bar due to financial constraints.

We are immensely proud of the work we do, which identifies and encourages the brightest and best, regardless of background. Our role is to support talent, wherever we find it, and to ensure it nurtured, encouraged, and used, in the best and proudest traditions of the Criminal Bar, for the public good.
