How to land Pupillage if you have a disability

Other

We are delighted to have put this event together to ensure that barristers with a disability at the Bar are getting the support they need when applying for pupillage. There will be experienced barristers at the event to advise and review CV’s or applications respecting your confidentiality.

Future pupil barrister Isabel Baylis will be sharing her story on how she got pupillage and her involvement with Legally Disabled.

Hardwicke chambers will be giving a short talk about their work, what they have to offer pupils and what to expect from pupillage at Hardwicke. It is an opportunity to really get to know Hardwicke as a chamber beyond what you see from their website.

After the talks and pupillage advice you will then have an opportunity to network with a drinks reception to follow.

The event may be of nterest you if:
