Members of the Bar Standards Board Pupillage Working Group held an open discussion with pupils on 13 July at Lincoln’s Inn, which focused on pupils’ experiences of Pupillage. Although few pupils were able to be present, a good discussion was held with those who attended the drinks reception and with those who stayed for the formal discussion.
The BSB review of Pupillage continues and we are still keen for pupils to share their experiences by contributing to the private forum, which every pupil was sent a link and password to in March. For more information about the Pupillage forum, please email Kofi Kramo at: kkramo@barstandardsboard.org.uk
