INTERVIEW
The short-listed candidates are invited for a single interview by a
panel of four people, towards the end of July. The interview lasts 30
minutes. It includes a legal problem, which is provided to you on the
day. No prior knowledge of family law is required or expected. The panel will be more interested to see a candidate argue
cogently on legal principles than to display a wealth of knowledge of
case law. The interview also includes more general questions and, of
course, a full opportunity for you to ask us any questions you may
have. Successful candidates will be offered a pupillage within the
rules and timetable of the summer Pupillage Portal season.
MINI-PUPILLAGE
Our mini-pupillages are informally assessed and we keep a record of
your time in chambers.We invite those you spend time with, so far as
they are able in the time you are with them, to indicate whether they
consider you demonstrate the qualities and abilities we look for in our
pupillage candidates and accordingly whether, were you to apply, you
should be invited to attend an interview for pupillage. It is not
necessary for you to undertake a mini-pupillage for you to be
considered for interview.
