Statute and precedent Because of the breadth and depth of chancery work – and because “it is not beholden to the sphere of government funding” – barristers in this area do not face the same issues as colleagues those in criminal and family law. For James, the challenge of developing a practice in this area stems from the nature of the work itself: “Due to the multifaceted approach that cases require, prospective barristers need to realise that they will deal with a number of different areas of law comprising of both statute and precedent, upon which they will have to adapt to quickly given the instructions they receive.” He signs off with the following advice for those interested in this field: “If you are really interested in chancery work, go for a set that does chancery work and has a reputation for doing so. To develop a chancery practice, you will need to target one of the several chambers that are known in this area, which underlines the importance of researching the profession you are joining.”
