MISCELLANEOUS Can I obtain a pupillage from a friend in chambers as a “favour”?
All pupillages must be advertised, and pupils must be recruited via an official recruitment process. Each set of Chambers has its own process described in their Pupillage Policy Document. Chambers which offer unadvertised pupillages as a “favour” are in breach of the Equality Code. The Bar Standards Board may not register such a pupillage.
