Overview How are ranking decisions made? How many cases can each barrister put forward in a submission? How many referees can each barrister put forward? Do the referees need to be connected to the cases put forward in the submission? Where can I find the submission template and the referee spreadsheet template? Does a barrister need to be of a certain year of call before they can be considered for inclusion? What does the Senior Statesperson ranking mean?
How are ranking decisions made?
The decision to include sets and barristers in the tables in Chambers Bar guides is based on a number of factors. Of primary importance are:
1. The volume, complexity and importance of work undertaken in the year prior
to publication.
2. Visibility and profile as reflected in the views of our many interviewees
(clients, instructing solicitors and fellow barristers) who are asked to
comment on a set's strength and its individual barristers' performance (whether
on paper, in court or in conference).
Sets and individuals are included in our rankings when they have received
sufficient positive comment. The factors mentioned above also determine the
relative positions allotted in the tables.
