Atkin Chambers offers up to ten, two-day mini-pupillages a year. Applications should be made between 1 and 31 July for mini-pupillages in September/December 2019 (and between 1 and 31 January 2020 for mini-pupillages in March/April/July of that year).
We request that applicants not apply earlier than 2nd year law or 3rd year non-law. We welcome applications from those studying the BPTC or GDL.
During their time in Chambers, mini-pupils are given the dedicated support of a junior barrister whose task it is to provide a varied insight into the life and work of a barrister at Atkin Chambers.
Chambers does not assess its mini-pupils, as it views the experience as a decision-making tool to help them inform the right choice when deciding where to submit a full pupillage application.
