Barrister resume template
Courtroom formality in a serif resume.
Barrister carries the gravity of the legal profession: full serif typography, a centered formal header with your name in wide-tracked uppercase, and an ornamental line-and-diamond divider beneath every section heading. Body text is justified for a composed, document-like finish. It is the resume equivalent of a well-tailored suit — formal, structured, and serious.

Will Barrister pass applicant tracking systems?
Serif typefaces parse fine in modern ATS software. Single-column layout and standard headings keep everything machine-readable.

Questions about the Barrister template
Is serif type okay for ATS systems?
Yes — modern parsers handle serif fonts without issue. The single-column layout and standard headings matter far more than the typeface.
Can I use Barrister outside law?
Its formality suits any traditional profession — academia, diplomacy, senior public service — but it was designed for legal careers.
Does the ornamental divider affect parsing?
No — the dividers are decorative lines; all section text remains real and selectable.
