Circuits of England and Wales

Circuits are the highest-level administrative divisions of the Bar of England and Wales and His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service. Today, they serve as professional associations for barristers practicing within their areas, as well as administrative divisions for the purposes of administration of justice.

There are six circuits in total: Midland, Northern, North Eastern, Western, Wales and Chester, and South Eastern.

There is also the European Circuit, which is an association of barristers with interests in European law. Though it is called a circuit and recognised by the Bar Council, it does not serve any administrative or judicial purposes.

Circuits are divided along local authority area borders.
