MTYBA is committed to putting in place a comprehensive programme of events and opportunities for its members who are seeking pupillage.
MTYBA's Pupillage Application Programme is a series of events specifically tailored to meet the challenges faced by applicants throughout the application process, particularly during the key months of Gateway applications. Details and registration can be found on our events page.
Pupillage Application Evening
An opportunity to receive advice and discuss informally the written application stage with experienced practitioners, including a chance to receive feedback on draft applications.
Pupillage Interview Workshop
A chance to undertake a mock pupillage interview in front of interview panellists from chambers and receive detailed feedback on performance. We will run at least one workshop in both London and Manchester.
The Inn also runs a mock interview scheme, which you can find out more about here.
Interview Advocacy Workshop
A chance to undertake mock advocacy exercises akin to those at pupillage interviews in front of chambers interview panellists and receive detailed feedback on performance.
