About AETO and Structure of Pupillage
Nexus is a common law set that offers pupillage within the main practice areas of crime, family and general civil law. Pupils can further expect to assist members of chambers with regards to inquest and regulatory work.
Nexus' pupils can expect to shadow, assist and learn from our diverse members and their respective practice areas. During your first six months you can expect to be under the guidance of two pupil supervisors with varying practice areas and working methods.
Following Covid, Nexus recognises the importance of relationships between pupils and its tenants and seeks to promote the exposure every pupil has to our members in order to broaden and deepen the training provided.
Reviews and training sessions are periodically undertaken throughout pupillage with feedback provided, in particular during the second six (practicing period) that shall include a review with the practice managers to discuss work load and client based feedback (if applicable).
