Pupillage

Civitas Law operates its pupillage scheme in compliance with both the Code of Conduct of the Bar of England and Wales and the Equality and Diversity Code.

 

Our selection for pupillage is made upon the following criteria:

 

 

We are well aware of the importance of pupillage from both sides of the arrangement. Consequently, any pupillage position is offered with a view to tenancy.

 

 

 

 

A pupil would normally come under the supervision of two pupil supervisors during the 12-month pupillage, with regular appraisal meetings being conducted. Pupils will be given the opportunity to undertake a full range of our work, whilst broadening their experience with the pupil supervisor and other members of Chambers.

 

The pupillage starting in autumn 2012 is funded in the sum of £12,000 per annum plus guaranteed earnings of £10,000. Chambers also reimburses reasonable expenses incurred whilst shadowing members. Pupils are entitled to two weeks’ holiday in each six month pupillage period. No Chambers’ rent is payable during the first 12 months of pupillage.

 

Applications for pupillage are to be made on Chambers’ own application form which is available by clicking here. Once completed, the application form should be printed off and signed. The application form together with two copies of it should be delivered by post or by hand to:

The closing-date for applications for the 12-month pupillage for autumn 2012 is 5th May 2011.

 

 

 

 

Chambers is also looking to recruit a pupil for a 3rd six pupillage commencing in September 2011 in order to handle instructions across Chambers’ areas of work. We hope that the successful applicant may later be able to apply for tenancy.

 

There would be no liability for clerks’ fees or rent during the period of such pupillage.The pupillage is otherwise unfunded.
