We know that a mini-pupillage can help you decide whether you wish to apply for pupillage at 4 Pump Court and that a mini-pupillage can also enable us to meet promising candidates for pupillage. However demand for mini-pupillages is very high and far outstrips our ability to offer them. It is not unusual for places to be filled more than a year in advance.
Limited places are available for two day mini-pupillages throughout the legal year to anyone who is an undergraduate or post graduate, is seriously interested in applying to Chambers for pupillage and is a realistic candidate for such a pupillage. During a mini-pupillage you will be asked to carry out a short assessed exercise which is intended to give you an idea of the work we carry out in Chambers and to give us an idea of your aptitude for pupillage.
With the impact of Covid-19, we have needed to offer virtual mini-pupillage days as a successful alternative. We are now scheduling in person mini-pupillages but have decided to offer virtual mini-pupillages as an alternative for applicants, if circumstances justify them.
Mini-pupillages are not a pre-requisite for an application for pupillage.
We do not want anyone to be deterred from applying for a mini-pupillage by financial considerations. Please ask us if you would like us to cover your reasonable expenses.
