Call 2021
Beatrice Allsop was called to the Bar in 2021 and joined chambers as a tenant in 2023.
Beatrice has attracted praise from the judiciary, being described as having an “extremely pleasant disposition”, being “extremely well prepared” and making submissions “of the highest standard”.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Laws degree, Beatrice was appointed as a specialist court advocate for West Yorkshire Police. In this role, she prosecuted Domestic Violence Protection Orders and breaches of these orders on behalf of the Chief Constable. In addition, she also advised and trained police officers across the force on the relevant legislation and procedure, presenting to officers from all ranks between Constable and Chief Superintendent. Beatrice was ranked as “exceptional” in this role, and was chosen to speak alongside the Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner at an external conference.
For the Bar Professional Training Course, Beatrice was awarded the Diplock Scholarship and Blackstone Entrance Exhibition by the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple. During the course, she obtained Very Competent and Outstanding marks in her advocacy modules, and a Very Competent grade overall whilst continuing to work for West Yorkshire Police.
