Who should apply Candidates with strong analytical and intellectual abilities. 7KBW does not typically interview candidates who do not have a first or a good upper second-class degree. 7KBW offers up to four pupillages per year. Pupillage programme Pupils are allocated a pupillage supervisor for the first two to three months and will change pupillage supervisor more frequently thereafter. A large component of pupillage is assisting in the preparation of trials and applications and attending court with the pupil supervisor. It will also involve drafting statements of case, researching the law, advices and attending conferences. Whatever the nature of the pupil supervisor’s work, a pupil can expect to be fully involved in it. 7KBW also organises advocacy exercises and pleading seminars for its pupils. When and how to apply Applications should be made via the Pupillage Gateway 2021 season for pupillages commencing in September 2022. Deferred pupillages commencing in September 2023 will also be available but will only be offered in exceptional circumstances. Mini-pupillages Two-day mini-pupillages are available. Mini-pupillages do not include any formal assessments and completon of a mini-pupillage is not a prerequisite for applying for pupillage, but it is strongly encouraged. For information about how and when to apply, please refer to the website at www.7kbw.co.uk/join-us/mini-pupillage.
