Mini-pupillage
Mini-pupillage is a short period of work experience (usually one week) in a set of chambers. Although some chambers require applicants to undertake an assessed mini-pupillage as part of the overall pupillage recruitment process, and others use it as one of their selection criteria, this is not the practice at 42 Bedford Row.
All applicants to the Bar are advised to undertake at least one mini-pupillage as spending time in this way within chambers will provide an invaluable insight into life at the Bar and may provide some useful contacts to assist in finding pupillage.
The Pupillages and Awards Handbook provides details of which chambers offer mini-pupillages, as does the chambers entry on the OLPAS Website. For a mini-pupillage at 42 Bedford Row you should apply direct to chambers enclosing a copy of your CV and specifying the dates you are available. All applications should be marked for the attention of the Pupillage Secretary, and clearly marked "Mini-Pupillage". You may send your application by email sent to minipupillage@42br.com
It should be noted that we do not grant mini-pupillages to students at pre-university stage.
