James Benjamin Readership Program


Halsbury Chambers offers a readership program created in the name of our remarkable friend and beloved chamber mate, James Benjamin, who passed away in March 2024.

The James Benjamin Readership offers a reader’s desk to new barristers for an initial six month period (with possible six month extension).

The next readership program commences in January 2026. Applications will close on 24 October 2025.
