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. Yes. Provided that your pupil supervisor or head of chambers has given their permission, you can during your non-practising six accept a noting brief. 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 six months of pupillage and have the permission of their pupil supervisor or head of chambers.
