Pupillage Fair

What is the Bar Council's Pupillage Fair?

It's the only event of its kind delivered directly by the Bar Council of England and Wales. We’re your professional body. We represent and support all practising barristers, champion the rule of law and access to justice, and support the next generation of barristers.

Because this fair is run by us, it offers an unrivalled opportunity. You’ll hear from the people who know the profession best, connect with chambers, organisations, Inns of Court, and specialist Bar associations, and gain insights you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re just beginning to explore a career at the Bar, or are already preparing for applications, this is your chance to access expert guidance, practical resources, and invaluable networking, all in one place.

The support doesn’t stop there – discover more.
