The Pupillage Interview/Acceptance/Rejection Thread 2018

Scroll to see replies

Yesterday I had that, 20min time to prep for a legal problem they gave me there. They provided a red book, and I was told I can use other sources that I have on me if I wish (although in that time looking at anything was difficult!)

Don't laugh: what's the red book?

Just had my 1KBW rejection email through :frown:

1KBW rejections out!

Apologies if already asked, but has anyone heard from KBW or New Park Court?

Anyone had a first round interview with No 5 chambers before? Trying to find out the sort of questions I might get asked as it'll be my first ever pupillage interview :afraid:

Anyone had a rejection from 2KBW following 1st round interviews? Trying to work out if they are possibly doing batches or if it's time to call it a day.

I might be late in response but 2KBW second round invites sent yesterday

If you mean Temple Garden Chambers on the Gateway, then no. Not a word so far.

I interviewed there last year. First rounds were short and asked varied questions - they also asked me to explain a complex case I had recently read, then they asked me to explain the case in a way that's so simple my 'nan' would understand it... overall it's a friendly set. Good luck!

Likewise! If I remember correctly KBW were quite late last year as I interviewed there.

As long as they leave it until after my ethics exam this coming Friday I won't complain... :redface:

Good luck with that! I’ve found the application process much less stressful having finished the course, so I don’t envy you.

Ha, thank you! I'll take all the luck I can get at this point...

Best of luck to yourself (and indeed everyone else on this thread) in this seemingly endless search for pupillage. :crossedf:
