Introduction

Clare Rennie began a specialist Pupillage in Crime in May 2022 under the supervision of Ben Williams and has been available to take instructions since 21 November 2022.

Clare is listed on the CPS Crown Court General Crime Panel at Level 1.

During her time as a pupil, Clare has observed a wide range of complex cases with different members of Chambers. She has confidently developed positive working relationships at court and has demonstrated an ability to consider novel areas of law in high pressure situations. She is interested in developing a practice in the Youth Courts and Education, particularly pupil exclusions.
