Marshalling

Lincolns Inn provide a Marshalling scheme for its BPTC students and Pupils. To apply for the scheme you must have completed at least three months of your BPTC.

The Judges participating in the scheme do so on a voluntary basis and warmly receive marshals with the aim that the student will gain an insight into the daily working of the court but also act as a guide to help aid the student’s development and understanding of law.

We have many students seeking marshalling placements and so restrict access to the scheme to those that have not marshalled with a judge in any capacity previously.

We arrange marshalling for periods of three days which gives you a chance to see court proceedings from a whole new perspective as you discuss the case with the Judge, give your opinions and, most importantly, learn from them and others that you meet over your time at the court.

In keeping with the closure of the courts in the summer, the scheme operates a rolling rota system. Students are able to marshal with a Judge from October to June. The scheme is closed for the summer vacation, ie for July, August and September. 

If you wish to apply for a placement prior to the July closure, please ensure that you apply by May 30th, for placements to be scheduled for June. For placements to start in October onwards, please ensure you apply from the 1st of September.

If you have completed 3 months or more of your BPTC and are interested in taking part in the scheme, please email the following information to Ed Payne, who will be organising the placement on your behalf.

1)       An up to date C.V (Word Format preferred)
2)       Dates of availability
