What we expect from you
We expect you to comply with the Bar Council’s regulations and to obtain both a partial (at the end of your first six) and full practising certificate at the end of 12 months should you be offered a tenancy. Even as a pupil you contribute to the perception of Chambers and its working atmosphere. Consequently, you are expected to be punctual, dress appropriately (to meet a client or attend court), to preserve clients’ confidentiality and to fulfil your GDPR obligations at all times. You must also deal with all your colleagues, including Chambers’ staff regardless of their role, in a courteous and professional manner.
During the interview process and your pupillage, we will be looking for:
- Integrity
- Intellectual ability
- Effective communication
- Motivation and resilience
- Interpersonal skills
- Analytical thinking
- Commitment to Chambers
