Pupillage

1 Mitre Court Buildings currently participates in the OLPAS summer season, and offers up to two 12-month pupillages each year. All pupils are selected in accordance with Chambers’ selection policy. Appropriate weight is given where an applicant’s motivation in coming to the Bar is in line with Chambers’ ethos. Weight is also given to qualifications including post-graduate study, and past work experience, including voluntary work.

Pupils are paid an award of £15,000 per year, payable as a grant during the first 6 months of pupillage, and by way of guaranteed earnings during the second 6 months.

Chambers seeks to ensure that pupillage is a positive and useful experience, and we regularly monitor and review pupils’ progress. To this end we hold a programme of seminars.

During the second six months of pupillage, pupils can expect to be in court most days.

Details of our current pupils can be found here.
