Winter Period 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.
