Assessed Mini-Pupillage at 11 SB
An assessed Mini-Pupillage in Chambers offers the prospective Pupillage candidate an excellent introduction to life at the Chancery/Commercial Bar. It gives a far better impression of Chambers' work and of life as a Pupil or junior Tenant than any brochure, website or presentation. It is however, to be distinguished from an un-assessed Mini-Pupillage or work experience which may be made available to a wider spectrum of people considering a career at the Bar ranging from school pupils to graduates considering a career change.
Chambers offers assessed Mini-Pupillages to take place between October and July and typically start on a Monday and finish on the Friday in the same week.
During his or her time in Chambers the Mini-Pupil will be under the supervision of a Mini-Pupil Supervisor although the Mini-Pupil may accompany other Tenants in attending court or conferences. He/she will also be asked to complete a written piece of work and an assessment of your time with Chambers will take place.
