4BB Chambers offers four funded twelve-month pupillages each year.
We provide training and assessment for completion of both the non-practising period of pupillage and completion of the practising period of pupillage in accordance with the BSB Professional Statement Competencies and Bar Qualification Manual.
Chambers awards £1,930 per month for the first six months of pupillage. During the second six months pupils are expected to undertake paid court work. However, due to the variable and retrospective nature of payment, Chambers provides a top up payment each month to ensure a minimum income of £1,930 a per month. Pupils are expected to cover their travel costs within London, but will be reimbursed if they need to travel outside London. We support the development of our pupils and will pay for all compulsory courses and other training completed by a pupil during the 12 months of their pupillage.
Upon satisfactory completion of the 12-month pupillage, pupils are frequently invited to complete a 6-month probationary tenancy in Chambers to further develop their skills before applying for tenancy. We have an excellent record for offering tenancy to those who complete pupillage with us.
4BB Chambers does not require pupillage candidates to have completed a mini-pupillage with us.
Each pupil will have a supervisor during the first six months of pupillage and a different supervisor during the second period of pupillage. Every effort is made to ensure that pupils have an opportunity to work for other members of Chambers and so be exposed to as wide a range of work as possible.
The pupillage training program combines one-to-one sessions, self-assessment and simulated written and oral assessments to ensure that pupils can meet all the professional competencies necessary for the successful completion of pupillage.
