As a mini-pupil you will spend 5 days with our team. In a typical week you can expect to experience court hearings, client conferences and drafting as well as meeting our current pupil barristers, our clients and our solicitor colleagues. Your mini-pupillage will include assessed oral and written advocacy tasks, and you will receive constructive feedback at the end of the week which is designed to improve your prospects of achieving pupillage.
In line with Browne Jacobson’s commitment to fair and equal access to the legal profession, successful mini-pupils will be provided with financial assistance (£250 per week) to help with travel and/or accommodation costs.
