Pupillage Advice Evening

Are you preparing to apply for pupillage this year? Join us for our annual Pupillage Advice Evening on Monday 14 December, designed to help Lincoln’s Inn members put forward the strongest possible application ahead of the Pupillage Gateway opening on Monday 4 January 2027.

Whether you are making your first application or looking to refine your approach, this event offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from members who have successfully navigated the process. Through a series of practical talks, speakers will share insights on preparing strong written applications, performing effectively at interview and standing out in a competitive field.

Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to put their questions to an expert panel and gain advice on the challenges and opportunities that arise throughout the pupillage application process.

The evening will conclude with a networking drinks reception, where prospective pupils can speak informally with barristers from a range of practice areas, expand their professional networks and gain further insight into life at the Bar.
