Pupillage

Pupillage and pupillage awards

Chambers places a very high importance on its top quality training of pupils and seeks to prepare pupils for tenancy and a busy practice as a successful junior at one is recognised as a leading set. To find out more about a pupillage at Devereux Chambers download our pupillage brochure.

Mini-pupillages and Open Day

Mini-pupillages and attendance at our open day are not a pre-requisite for pupillage, nor are they formally assessed. Indeed the demand for mini-pupillages and places at our open day is so great that we can only accommodate a small proportion of those wishing to apply for pupillage. However, we do encourage those who are intending to apply to Devereux Chambers for a pupillage to do a mini-pupillage or attend our open day, primarily as a means of enabling prospective pupils to get a feel for the work and atmosphere of Chambers. Devereux Chambers will only consider applications for mini-pupillage and the student open day made on the designated application form.

Completed forms should be returned by email to pupillage@devchambers.co.uk

Due to the high volume of applications, candidates are requested to select only one of the mini-pupillage seasons or the student open day in their application. School pupils are not eligible for mini-pupillages or the student open day and priority will be given to students who have at least reached the 2nd year of their law degree or have confirmed places on a law conversion course. Applications must be received by the designated dates, after which time candidates will be informed in writing of the outcome of their application.

The ten successful candidates for each mini-pupillage season will be invited to book 3 days on which to attend chambers. In order to offer the best range of experience we normally have only one mini-pupil in chambers at a time.

Devereux Chambers considers all applications on an equal basis and does not discriminate on grounds of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief or age. Information provided in the equal opportunities monitoring form will be kept separately from your application form and will not be considered during the selection process.
