Charlie Coventey is a pupil barrister at St John’s Chambers. Charlie studied Law at Bristol University and stayed on to complete his BVC. Having had a real taste for living in Bristol, Charlie decided join the team at St John’s Chambers.
“Although no longer living the student life, I can walk home or to meet friends in a matter of minutes, through attractive and lively areas such as the waterfront, Clifton and Redland. The South-West’s beaches, areas of outstanding beauty such as Exmoor, and Salisbury Plain all lie within striking distance. Meanwhile I hear from my university friends who have migrated to London of dungeon-like Chambers libraries, shoebox flats and the spiralling costs of living. Put simply, Bristol guarantees a better quality of life, and (especially important for a pupil barrister) more money left over to put towards making the most of that extra time.”
“I was persuaded to apply to St John’s after I thoroughly enjoyed my mini-pupillage with Chambers. I decided that I would eventually like to be instructed in high-calibre cases such as those I observed, and realised that this would occur more quickly at a regional set with a good reputation. The barristers and clerks I met were both friendly and approachable, an impression which has been borne out throughout the interview process and the start of my pupillage. The level of support offered to pupils is excellent.”
