About

The aims of The Kalisher Trust

The trust has four main aims:

  • To help broaden the ethnic and social representation of the criminal bar by supporting those who, despite their potential, have faced multiple challenges as they strive to achieve their career ambitions.
  • To provide training, mentoring and assistance to encourage and inspire young people from diverse backgrounds to achieve their potential through the development of advocacy skills.
  • To encourage and support young people who would not otherwise consider a career at the criminal bar.
  • To provide training and mentoring, as well financial & career support through internships and scholarships, to recently qualified barristers to help them develop sustainable and successful careers at the criminal bar.

We are proud to have worked for greater social mobility and diversity at the criminal bar since 1996 and continue to do so.  If you would like to help us in our important work please contact us via [email protected]
