This new and exciting title is the first definitive guide to getting a pupillage at the Bar of England and Wales. The book describes the process of becoming a barrister by walking the reader through each step of the route to pupillage. It will also offer practical advice for each stage from the authors' own personal experiences and from the wisdom of senior members of the Bar. The work seeks to weave together these complementary functions to create a product, which will guide, inform and advise all applicants of the successful route to pupillage. Coverage includes: an overview of the process; a discussion of the academic stage of the training; a focus upon the practical training; and a detailed section dedicated to the pupillage applications themselves.
