Mini-Pupillages
Mini-pupillages generally last for two days and, save in exceptional circumstances, take place in specific weeks in May, July, November and December of each year. We aim to take 10 mini-pupils per week.
The deadlines for our specific weeks are as follows:
Monday 28th May for our week starting July 9th 2012.
Monday 26th October for our week starting 26th November 2012.
Monday 12th November for our week starting 10th December 2012.
All applications received will be treated as applications for the specific mini-pupillage weeks. However, where there are extenuating circumstances we will of course endeavour to make reasonable adjustments to this time-table. If you have any questions please do contact Georgie Ruane, our pupillage co-ordinator, by email at pupillage@4newsquare.com
Mini-pupillages do not involve formal assessment but we do record and provide you with some feedback on your likely suitability for pupillage in chambers. Mini-pupillages are not a pre-requisite for a pupillage application. However, we do encourage applicants to do a mini-pupillage in Chambers. We believe they provide a fantastic opportunity to get an understanding of the work done in chambers and, perhaps even more importantly, an opportunity to meet members of Chambers and get a feel for the working environment here.
If applicants have any particular requirements or interests they should make this clear on the application form (as to which see below). Where possible we will then make necessary arrangements prior to the mini-pupillage.
How to apply for mini-pupillage
Mini-pupillages are granted after a review of an application form by two members of Chambers. The details are as follows:
• 2 days duration;
• Up to £50 travelling expenses
