Pupillage Advice Evening
Just after the Pupillage Gateway opens, on 2 January 2025, we are hosting a Pupillage Advice Evening to assist members with applying for pupillage. This event will be held at the Inn, online and on certain Circuits.
The evening will involve talks from our members on tips for pupillage applications and pupillage interviews, which will also be streamed online. This will be followed by a chance to ask any questions on getting pupillage to our expert panel. Online attendees can also ask questions via the Q&A function on Zoom.
After the talks, we will be hosting an in-person networking drinks reception which will allow prospective pupils to network with members from various practice areas and ask informal questions about attaining pupillage.
