APPLICATION FOR MINI-PUPILLAGE
Chambers normally offers 8 mini pupillages per year of one week’s duration, during June, July, August and September, although applications will be considered for other times of the year. You may indicate a preference for a particular week. As Chambers receives a large number of applications we are more likely to accommodate you if you can indicate a broad range of dates.
Our mini pupillage year runs from the 1st June to the following 31st May. Applications must be received on or before the 31st May in any given year e.g. for mini pupillage in August 2014, applications must be received on or before the 31st May 2014. The results of all applications will be notified soon after the 31st May.
Please note that Chambers is unable to offer mini pupillages to candidates unless they have begun a University degree course (not necessarily in Law) or are studying for another qualification (e.g. CPE) that can lead to a career at the Bar.
