Probationary Tenancy and Tenancy

Towards the end of the 12-month pupillage those pupils who wish to be considered for tenancy can apply to Chambers for a six-month period of probationary tenancy. Most pupils apply for probationary tenancy during which they then apply for tenancy. Applications for tenancy are made to the Chambers Management Committee, which will decide if the application will be put to a vote by all of Chambers.

Mini-Pupillage

If you are seriously considering a career at the Criminal Bar you are welcome to apply for a mini-pupillage with 4BB Chambers. Mini-pupillages typically last 2 days and you will be given the opportunity to follow a member of our chambers to court. Mini-pupillages are unfunded and you will not be asked to undertake any work for us during your mini-pupillage.
