Pupillage at New Square Chambers
We are a collegiate and friendly set, with a strong track record of recruiting pupils who go on to have successful careers at the Bar. We recruit one pupil per annum, for a 12-month pupillage starting in October. Pupils will be exposed to a broad range of Chambers’ work through having a number of different supervisors throughout the pupillage year. Further, there is ample opportunity for pupils to be instructed and appear in Court in their own right in the second six-months of pupillage.
Social Mobility Mini-Pupillage
We will offer up to 10 assessed mini-pupillage places to candidates from socially mobile backgrounds. The assessed mini-pupillage will be for a period of up to five days, during which candidates will undertake a written and an oral advocacy assessment. All candidates who perform well during the assessed mini-pupillage will be guaranteed a first-round interview for pupillage in the next recruitment round in which they are eligible to apply.
Mini-Pupillage
Each year, we offer a limited number of unassessed mini-pupillages, which ordinarily last for two days and take place between November and January. We encourage those considering a pupillage with us to undertake a mini-pupillage, although it is not a requirement to do so.
Established Practitioners
We invite applications for tenancy from established practitioners who can demonstrate expertise in our core practice areas, outstanding ability and achievement at the Bar, and a proven commitment to diversity and inclusion.
