Areas Of Practice
Undertaking a work experience placement (mini-pupillage) at Guildhall Chambers provides an opportunity to experience all elements of life as a barrister including being in court; observing conferences with lay clients and instructing solicitors; and drafting legal documents. Mini-pupils will also have the opportunity to talk with members of Chambers and ask them questions about their profession and the Pupillage application procedure.
Due to the number of applications that Guildhall Chambers receive each year we cannot accommodate everyone. We offer approximately twelve three-day placements between June and September each year. We do not offer placements outside of this period. The placements are restricted to applicants who have reached at least the first year of their undergraduate degree.
To be considered for a mini-pupillage in 2012 - please complete the online mini-pupillage application form which can be accessed through the menu on the left hand-side of this screen. Covering letters and accompanying CVs will not be considered. The application deadline is 31st March 2012. Offers will normally be made six weeks thereafter.
Any queries regarding mini-pupillages should be directed to James Haskell.
Work Experience
We do not offer any other forms of work experience. In conjunction with the Bar Council's efforts to broaden access to the Bar, we organise an annual State School Open Day for local Bristol students in their lower sixth-form. For more information please click here.
