Mini-Pupillage interview questions

What questions/topics were you asked about during your mini-pupillage interview at Fountain Court Chambers in particular and also 3VB?
Although I have not interviewed at either set, nor know what to expect, there are some typical areas you might want to prepare for any mini-pupillage:
- Why do you want to be a barrister? (e.g. as opposed to a solicitor or academic?)
- Why do you think you'll succeed as a barrister?
- Why their practice areas?
- Tell them about a recent case in their practice areas - this might be one you found interesting or even wrongly decided.
- Why should they offer you a mini-pupillage over the many other meritorious applicants?
- Why do you want a mini-pupillage, how will this benefit you?

I hope this is of some help! I have done minis at criminal, IP and civil sets, and am happy to try answer any questions you have.
