Mini-pupillage
Why we offer mini-pupillages
We feel that mini-pupillages are the best way of allowing prospective pupils to learn more about Quadrant Chambers and life at the Commercial Bar. Mini pupils will experience the life of a busy practitioner and spend time reading papers, carrying out legal research and discussing cases with barristers. Additionally, time may be spent attending court and arbitrations and sitting in on client conferences. Mini-pupillages are not compulsory for those wishing to apply to Quadrant for pupillage, but are strongly encouraged.
What we expect from mini-pupils
We seek applications from those who are realistically interested in pursuing a career at the Commercial Bar, whether lawyers or non-lawyers. Mini-pupillage applicants should be at least in the second year of their degree with an expected class of an upper second or above.
When we offer mini-pupillages
Mini-pupillages for 3 days will be offered for the following dates:
- In the week commencing 21st March 2011 (deadline for applications is 21st January 2011).
- In the weeks commencing 20th and 27th June 2011 (deadline 22nd April 2011).
- In the week commencing 12th September 2011 (deadline 15th July 2011).
We regret that places are limited and we find that we are usually unable to offer mini-pupillages to all applicants. Decisions on applications will be given shortly after the deadline dates.
