Pupillage

1 Mitre Court Buildings will be offering one 12-month pupillage, to commence in September 2013. 

The Pupillage Committee is currently shortlisting the candidates for interview. All applicants will be contacted in due course irrespective of success. There is no fixed timetable for the shortlisting process for the interviews. Please do not contact Chambers until you hear from 1MCB.

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 constructive experience, and we regularly monitor and review pupils’ progress. During the second six months of pupillage, pupils can expect to be in court most days.
