I have a friend that's entitled to, I think, three months of a pupillage due to their advocacy work. I imagine it's that sort of candidate that they're looking for
Thanks. I realise that reductions are available due to previous experience etc but it just made no sense to advertise as 12 month positions if they are only considering people who can complete a pupillage in less than 12 months. I have emailed them to clarify but no response yet.
Farringdon offers are out. This is my third year or so of applying, I am not an Oxbridge type, and do not have your standard barrister's background. Proof that there is hope for all of us (after years of struggle!)

Do you mind telling us a bit about your background? I applied to Farringdon and didn't get an interview and am determined to work out why! This coming year is the last year I can apply so I have to give it my all.

For those waiting to here my rejection from College Chambers arrived either Friday or Saturday. Very politely worded but expressly mentioned that they are unable to provide feedback on unsuccessful applications
Mildly off topic: has anyone gotten a mini-pupillage with Devereux chambers? If so, did your letter say 'I was very impressed with your application...'. I'm trying to assess if it's genuine or generic.
Last year I got my 2DrJ rejection on 6th Jan, so maybe we're looking at a similar date...
I know I said earlier I was expecting to hear in December, but their deadline was a month earlier this time, so I assumed it would take the same length of time, rather than take 3 1/2 months - is the wait killing anyone else?

PS Happy Pupillage New Year
A little bit agonising. Thanks for the info! I had emailed and was told all decisions (be it rejection or acceptance) would be out between xmas and new year. Oh well, "wait and see" is the only option at this point.

I did, in June 2013, and they were also very impressed with my application. Not sufficiently impressed, however – my rejection without interview in that year's applications came through a week later...

I thought it was a generic line! Thanks for the clarification. Any luck with pupillage applications/interviews elsewhere?
