Pupillages funded
Areas of work 1 Hare Court was the first set of chambers to specialise in family law. The majority of chambers’ work is in the area of matrimonial finance, although members also act in private child law and TOLATA disputes. We now have 14 silks, 27 juniors and four associate members. Former members of chambers include three former members of the Court of Appeal, three former Presidents of the High Court Family Division, two current High Court Judges, and three former High Court Judges. Current members of chambers have acted in almost all landmark matrimonial finance cases, including White , Miller/McFarlane , Charman , Agbaje , Macleod , Radmacher , Petrodel , Wyatt , Sharland , Cooper-Hohn . More recent cases of significance in family law, in which current members of chambers have acted, include Chai v Peng, Work v Gray, Birch , Thum , Owens , Waggott , Martin , XW v XH , Potanin v Potanina and FRB v DCA [No 2]. We expect that applicants will have a strong academic record. 1 Hare Court has a long-standing tradition of contributing to legal works: members of chambers continue to edit Rayden & Jackson, as well as many other leading books, and we regularly contribute articles to the specialist press. Candidates who demonstrate the potential to carry on this strong intellectual tradition will impress. A pupillage at 1 Hare Court offers training in advocacy, advice and drafting in every aspect of family work, particularly matrimonial finance. Our strong reputation and the quality of training means that those pupils who are not taken on stand a good prospect of finding a professional opportunity elsewhere, frequently in other specialist chambers or firms. Who should apply Candidates should be able to show that they have a flair for advocacy, presentational and analytical skills and the ability to develop sound judgment, as well as having a strong academic record. Given the emphasis on financial work, some aptitude and interest in financial matters is desirable. However, chambers’ work remains rooted in human problems and a sympathetic but perceptive response to those problems is essential. When and how to apply We recruit pupils once a year. Applications for pupillages commencing in October 2022 are scheduled in accordance with the Pupillage Gateway timetable. Applications should be sent with a full CV and typed covering letter (marked pupillage application) to the chambers’ administrator. References may be helpful. Those invited for an interview are likely to be interviewed on a Saturday in April 2021. For more information see the chambers’ website. Mini-pupillages These are available during term time only. Applicants must be at least at undergraduate level and have some interest in family law. Applications are accepted twice a year and should be sent with a full CV and typed covering letter marked for the attention of Georgina Howitt. Applications for mini-pupillages are usually assessed twice per year. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, we will not be accepting applications for mini-pupillages until January 2021. For mini-pupillages between February and July 2021, applications should be submitted between 1-31 January 2021. For mini pupillages between October 2021 and January 2022, applications should be submitted between 1-31 July 2021.
