PUPILLAGE AT 5 PUMP COURT CHAMBERS
There are separate sections of this page which provide information about how to apply for a twelve-month pupillage through Olpas, third six pupillage, and mini-pupillage.
TWELVE-MONTH PUPILLAGE
5 Pump Court Chambers is a successful common law set of chambers with three main practice teams: Criminal, Civil and Family. We are a friendly set and aim to make pupillage an instructive and enjoyable experience in which our pupils will gain a strong grounding in each of these areas.
Chambers is a member of OLPAS. Please read the Pupillages Handbook for the relevant session or visit www.pupillageportal.com for further information about how to apply for a twelve-month pupillage at 5 Pump Court Chambers.
Please note that for the current session (Summer 2009) Chambers will not interview a candidate who chooses "A - Criminal" as the only practice area in which they are interested. For the avoidance of doubt it is acceptable to select “A – Criminal” in addition to “C – Civil” and/or “J – Family”.
Applicants are advised to regularly check this website as further guidance may be added.
THIRD SIX PUPILLAGE
Vacancies for 3rd six pupillages will normally be advertised, however individual applications are considered as and when received.
MINI-PUPILLAGE
A maximum of four one-week mini-pupillages will be offered each year and will take place during late June, July, August or September.
The application form and equal opportunities monitoring form should be completed and submitted between the 1st January and the 31st January each year by post, accompanied by a handwritten covering letter and marked for the attention of Rebecca Foulkes. Due to the volume of applications it is regretted that applications received outside this period will not be acknowledged or considered.
Applicants must be either an undergraduate or graduate.Successful applicants will be notified by the 31st March and allocated their mini-pupillage week.
All applications will be assessed on their merits.
A mini-pupillage is not a pre-requisite for pupillage but may assist a future application.
Equal Opportunities
Chambers has a firm policy against any form of unfair discrimination. A copy of our equal opportunities policy is available on our website or on request.
