FAQ 6

Q6. I am a pupil in my first six months and have been asked to take a noting brief. Am I allowed to do so?

A6. Provided that your pupil supervisor or head of chambers has given his permission, you can accept a noting brief during your non-practising 6. You may also charge for doing so. Pupils are only able to supply legal services and exercise a right of audience once they have completed or been exempted from the non-practising 6 months of pupillage and have the permission of their pupil supervisor or head of chambers.
