Mini-Pupillage
Just like a pupillage only smaller…
It might only be short but it goes a long way to getting pupillage
The mini-pupillage is the barristers version of the vacation scheme. Unfortunately, there are a lot more people that want to barristers than there are jobs available. Mini pupillages can help in your attempt to secure pupillage, but are just one part. More than anything the mini-pupillage should be used for you to see if you really do want to be barrister.
Working in a busy Chambers is a sure fire way to see if you are cut out for the Bar. We have advice from young barristers, Chambers and others sharing their personal experiences on mini pupillages.
If you still have some concerns or questions then share them with us the forum for some helpful and direct advice, the chances are other people are having the same thoughts as you.
