Red Lion Chambers will be holding an Open Evening in Chambers for prospective pupillage applicants on Thursday 4 December from 6-8pm
Prospective applicants to the Bar are invited to attend an informative session hosted by members of chambers. The event will feature guidance from practising barristers on how to prepare a compelling pupillage application and how to approach interviews with confidence. Attendees will also hear from current pupils and junior members of chambers who will share their experiences and insights into life at the Bar.
The event will take place in chambers with facilities available for remote participation.
Ian McLoughlin KC, Head of the Education and Training Committee, commented: “We warmly welcome all aspiring barristers and law students to come and meet us on our Pupillage Open Evening. We will be providing practical advice on the pupillage application process, highlight common pitfalls and offer guidance on what to expect. As part of our ongoing commitment to making the Bar more accessible and inclusive, we hope this event will offer clarity, encouragement and practical support to anyone navigating the pupillage application journey.”
