Undertaking a mini-pupillage is the best way to find out about the day-to-day life of a barrister in private practice. It is hoped that a mini-pupil at Selborne Chambers will have the opportunity to experience both Court and Chambers-based work, with a number of members.
Applicants for a mini-pupillages should be, at least, in the final year of their law degree or, alternatively, about to undertake or in the process of undertaking their law conversion.
Applications for mini-pupillage should be made by sending a covering letter enclosing curriculum vitae to the Mini-Pupillage Secretary. Please mark the envelope "Mini-Pupillage". Successful applicants will normally be invited to spend 2 days in Chambers.
Whilst all applicants for pupillage are strongly recommended to undertake a mini-pupillage in Chambers, owing to the number of applications for mini-pupillages received, it is not possible to accommodate everyone. Anyone who is unsuccessful in an application for min-pupillage should not, for this reason alone, be dissuaded from making an application for pupillage.
