How to get the most out of the Bar Council’s Pupillage Fair
Where is the one place you can find out everything you need to know about a career at the Bar? Where you can meet hundreds of barristers from around 90 chambers and other pupillage providers? And where you can get advice on everything from CVs and applications to funding and support?
The Pupillage Fair is the annual free-to-attend exhibition and networking event that gives you all of the essentials to kickstart your career at the Bar. It’s the only recruitment event run by the Bar for the Bar of the future. It’s the place to meet and engage with practising barristers from every area of practice to find out about their work and gain a real insight into what life is like at the Bar – the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly.
The Fair is organised and run by the Bar Council with support from the Inns of Court and the Specialist Bar Associations to make sure it covers every angle of interest. Hundreds of volunteers at different stages of their careers will be on hand to answer questions and offer advice and guidance.
It’s a huge event and a fun day, but there’s a lot happening so it’s worth planning in advance to make sure you get the most out of it. Here are our top tips:
This year’s Pupillage Fair takes place on Saturday 15 October 2022 at etc.venues, 133 Houndsditch, Liverpool Street, London EC3A 7BX with online events from 11 to 13 October. Find out more here.
