MINI PUPILLAGE

Monckton Chambers has a limited number of mini pupillage places, and competition is fierce. We strongly encourage applications from those who are interested in a pupillage at Monckton Chambers and are close to the year of application for pupillage itself.

Mini-pupillages usually last for between three and five days in a week, and we are happy to be flexible about the amount of time you spend with us. For the duration of your mini-pupillage you are attached to one of our junior barristers. You will also typically have the chance to meet other Monckton barristers, from our newest tenants to our QCs, and to see some of them advise clients in conferences and fight cases in court.

Mini-pupils are asked to try their hands at one of our 'assessments' at some point during their time with us. These are short sets of papers adapted from real legal problems that barristers here have advised on in the past, and they are written so as to be accessible both to law students and to those who have a non-law academic background. You will be given time to read and think about the legal problems involved before talking them through with one of our barristers towards the end of your mini-pupillage.

If you would like to undertake a mini-pupillage with us, please send a copy of your CV, together with a covering letter setting out the dates when you would be available to Ann Langford at pupillage@monckton.com.
