The Inns of Court are professional associations for barristers in England and Wales. They provide legal education and training, and are responsible for the admission of barristers to practice law. There are four main Inns: Lincoln's Inn, Inner Temple, Middle Temple, and Gray's Inn. Each Inn has its own facilities, including libraries and dining halls. Members of the Inns of Court must complete a series of educational requirements, including the Bar Course, before they can be called to the bar. The Inns also play a role in maintaining professional standards and supporting the legal community through various events and resources.
