Pupillage Vacancy Information
For 2024/2025, our pupillage award will be £40,000. This is made up of a grant of £20,000 in the first six months and a guaranteed income of £20,000 in the second six months.
Successful pupils can apply to ‘draw down’ a proportion of the grant to assist with their Bar Course or other pupillage related costs.
