4 New Square Chambers - Mini-Pupillage
Mini-pupillages are available to those who have completed at least two years of a university degree.
We offer four mini-pupillage days per year. Two dates in Summer, usually in July & September and two dates in Winter, usually in December & January. On each mini-pupillage day we will welcome up to 20 mini-pupils.
The mini-pupillage day will comprise of:
-
Q&A sessions with both senior and junior members of chambers about the work which 4 New Square does, the pupillage application process and life as a pupil and junior tenant.
-
A lunch at Lincoln’s Inn with members of chambers.
-
The opportunity to engage one-to-one with a member of chambers about their work, life at 4 New Square and who will also supervise a written exercise.
For mini-pupils based outside London we reimburse reasonable domestic travel and accommodation expenses up to £350 on production of receipts.
Mini-pupils are assessed during their time in chambers, and this assessment is considered in respect of any pupillage application that may be submitted in the future.
Mini-pupillages are not a pre-requisite for a pupillage application, but we encourage potential applicants to do a mini-pupillage in chambers. We believe it is a valuable opportunity to get an understanding of the work we do here, to meet members of chambers and to get a feel for the working environment.
The application deadlines for 2026 mini-pupillages are as follows:
-
Monday 27 April 2026 (Midday) for the Summer period (July 2026 & Sept 2026)
Mini-pupillage applications are assessed using the same criteria we use to assess pupillage applications (further details can be found here). Decisions regarding applications will be communicated shortly after the deadline for each period.
To apply for mini-pupillage please fill out the application form, equality and diversity monitoring questionnaire and reasonable adjustments form.
In the event that an adjustment is required prior to completion of the application form, a reasonable adjustment form can be obtained by contacting the Pupillage Coordinator. The Pupillage Coordinator is also the point of contact for any queries or difficulties. A copy of the reasonable adjustments policy can be found here.
Please return your completed application form, equality and diversity questionnaire and reasonable adjustment form to pupillage@4newsquare.com or by post to the Pupillage Coordinator, 4 New Square, Lincoln’s Inn, London WC2A 3RJ.
