Mini-Pupillage Application Window Opens

Our mini-pupillage application process is now open, offering aspiring barristers the opportunity to gain a real understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a barrister and life at the Bar.

We offer 3-day mini-pupillages in Birmingham to applicants who are in at least the second year of their undergraduate degree. We welcome those who have limited or no mini-pupillage experience, and in particular those who are able to demonstrate a genuine interest in and commitment to a career in Birmingham.

Applicants wishing to undertake a career change will be expected to have a clear view of their abilities and how these can be transferred to a successful career at the Bar.

Mini-pupils will spend time with Barrister/s; shadowing their daily schedules and spending time with them in court, to really get a feel for the profession.

Applications can be completed via our mini-pupillage page.

The application window closes on 31st October 2025.
