How do I apply for pupillage?
There are two different ways in which sets recruit pupils. Some accept CVs, application forms or online applications directly from applicants; others are members of a centralised online pupillage application system called OLPAS. You can apply to up to 12 OLPAS chambers, tailoring each application to the individual set, and make one clearing application through the system. The deadline for first round submissions is at the end of April. Chambers begin to process candidate application forms that have been submitted for clearing in September. Visit pupillageportal.com for more details, advice and this year’s deadlines. Deadlines for non-OLPAS sets occur throughout the year and you can apply to as many as you like.
