The annual dinner, which alternates between Gray's Inn and Cambridge, allows barristers, benchers and students to dine together in a formal setting. Recent events have been attended by such figures as Lord Justice Jacob
, Lord Justice Ward and Major-General David Jenkins

The Association is run by a Committee comprising three student members (the President, the Secretary and the Junior Treasurer) and a Senior Treasurer, a tutor.
