Chambers offers at least one pupillage each year with an accompanying award of £26,000. The pupillage is for 12 months but with a review after 6 months at which time both chambers and the pupil may terminate the pupillage. The award of £26,000 includes £6,000 which may be drawn down by the successful applicant during his/her BVC year. All applications should be made through OLPAS.

The majority of successful pupils have a science degree or qualification of that level of expertise. This is not a minimum selection criterion but will be taken into account by chambers when selecting pupils.

During pupillage, pupils will sit with up to four pupil supervisors. This ensures that pupils get to see as many different areas of chambers work as possible.

A former member of Chambers set up a trust on his departure that will contribute £1000 to any successful pupil who becomes a tenant at 11 South Square. This contribution is aimed to assist with the start-up process in becoming a barrister.

Mini-pupillages are available throughout the court terms. They last from two days up to one week and are intended to give potential pupillage applicants a view of chambers life. Mini- pupillages are not a pre-requisite for pupillage nor are they assessed.

People wishing to apply for a mini-pupillage should write to Chambers pupillage Training Principal with a covering letter and a copy of their C.V.
