With the advent of the pupillage doors opening in March, thoughts at ‘The Pupillage Blog’ turn to the usual consideration of the biblical application process otherwise know as OLPAS, or for those subscribing to the political correct, those chambers subscribing to The Pupillage Portal.

reparation for any pupillage interview should always include a wide knowledge of news and views from the Bar, along with current news and opinions within the area of law in which you seek to practice, that way you can be assured to be able to succinctly answer any curve ball that may be thrown at you during the interview process. However, nothing could have prepared me for an interview I had recently as I have mentioned previously in another post. Importantly though, the time is now to be focused upon applications to the Non-OLPAS sets of chambers. To this end, I will be signposting and diarising upon the Pupillage Blog the different chamber deadlines as they fall due. (Note that applications for pupillage with Frances Taylor Building need to be in for 31st Jan). ne of the conclusions that I seem to be left with from my personal experiences, is that attaining a pupillage within a particular set of chambers would seem to be more likely driven by the ability to network successfully with one or more its members, than down to the credibility and worthiness of the individual. With this in mind, it was with interest this week that I read the press release from The Bar Council upon ‘Setting the Pace on Social Mobility’. Today’s blog discusses the arrival of the Pupillage Blog on Twitter and then addresses the importance of the covering letter for pupillage with some entertaining and engaging results from chambers. |
