Pupillage Vacancy Information

Structure of Pupillage
Chambers adopts a pro-active and involved approach to pupillage, taking on up to three pupils every year with a view to eventual tenancy. Our policy is only to recruit those we consider to be potential future tenants. Pupillage at Tanfield is divided into three periods of four months each with different pupil supervisors. The aim is to introduce pupils to the core practice areas in Chambers, giving them experience of court work and the opportunity to work with as many members of Chambers as possible. During their second six months, pupils can expect to be in court regularly. 

Pupils will spend 4 months with 3 different supervisors.


Financial and Other Support Available

For successful applicants yet to undertake their Bar vocational training year, up to £20,000 of the award may be drawn down.


Equality Diversity and Inclusion

Tanfield Chambers is a firm believer in equal opportunities and we consider all applications for pupillage on merit- regardless of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, citizenship, sex, gender re-assignment, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, disability, age, religion or belief, or pregnancy and maternity.

We use the Rare Contextual Recruitment System, which allows us to understand each applicant’s achievements in the context in which they have been gained.
