Mini Pupillage

At St John’s Chambers we feel that quality is more important than quantity. We understand that you want your mini-pupillage to give the best possible experience of life in Chambers and it is for that reason that we only offer one mini-pupillage per week.

We feel that this offers mini-pupils the time and attention that is required to make it a truly worthwhile experience; however this does mean that the number of mini-pupillages we can offer is limited.

In order to apply for a mini-pupillage with us you must be at least in the second year of your degree course.

How do I apply?

Please send us a detailed curriculum vitae and covering letter. You must include the results of all examinations taken to date. Without this information your application will not be considered.

Applications are on a quarterly basis:

For a mini-pupillage between January – March please apply by 30th September.
For a mini pupillage between April – June please apply by 31st December.
For a mini pupillage between July – September please apply by 31st March.
For a mini pupillage between October – December please apply by 30th June.

Our mini-pupillages are not formally assessed but will be taken into consideration if you apply to us for pupillage. We do not offer financial assistance to mini-pupils.

All applications and any further queries should be addressed to:

Mini-Pupillage Secretary
St John’s Chambers
