Today’s blogpost is the second and final part of the “Top Tips for Pupillage Interviews” series. In case you missed it, the first part of the series included tips from eight silks.
The silks gave a "view from the top", and we will now hear from eight juniors and established practitioners at the Bar who have more recently been on the receiving end of the pupillage interview process.
A huge thank you to Sarah, Sahar, Narinder, Jennifer, Will, Mani, Mathias and Joel for their time and invaluable contributions.
Hi everyone!
I am immensely honoured because in today’s blogpost I collaborated with EIGHT silks who share their top tips for pupillage interviews.
We hope these help and we would love to hear from you if they do.

In today’s blogpost I asked six barristers and future pupil barristers to comment on one of my failed pupillage applications. I also analysed my own application because I used the lessons I learnt through not succeeding in my pupillage applications to understand how to to create a strong application for my training contract, and I was successful in joining Clifford Chance. I share snippets of my own application below for you to compare.
Essentially, the seven of us together share our “Do’s and Don’t of Pupillage Applications”. The barristers provide detailed tips on how to approach each of the pupillage gateway questions.
If you are an international (i.e. someone who requires a visa to work in the UK), you might find this article particularly useful as we have given very thorough details about what you need to know about applying for pupillage in the UK.
