Your Pupillage

Pupillage is an intense twelve-month training programme which sees successful candidates turned into practising barristers in a very short space of time. The learning curve is steep, the work is demanding and the hours can be long but the result is worth it: a career at the bar.

At Henderson Chambers, our objective is to ensure that our pupils see and undertake a broad range of work across all of our practice areas. Our pupils are therefore overseen by four supervisors over the course of the year. Pupils will undertake work for their supervisors (as well as for other members of Chambers) in order to learn from experience and to develop the skills necessary to succeed.

Having watched from the shadows for the first six months, come March, it’s your turn. You'll be on your feet in Court with your own clients, your own skeleton argument and your own cross examination.
