Can I obtain a reduction in the length of pupillage?
If there are sufficient grounds, you may apply for a reduction in the length of pupillage. The grounds for such an application must be the completion of some substantial training and/or experience that can be realistically equated to service of pupillage. ‘Specially qualified applicants’ mentioned in Part IV of the Consolidated Regulations and legal academics, if approved for call to the Bar, will be considered for a reduction of pupillage on the basis of relevant experience during the application process.
