No5 Chambers pupilage interview

I entirely understand these sorts of questions, but you need to be careful with them. The best you can get is someone telling you what they did last year. The format may remain the same, but the questions will almost certainly be different, and indeed there is no guarantee that the format remains the same. Generally speaking there are only a handful of different things that you can be asked to do or answer in a pupillage interview. There are competency based questions, general non legal interview or discussion questions, and legal discussion questions. Then in terms of exercises there are written exercises that you will generally be given advanced notice of, or advocacy exercises where you generally get the information and papers you need on the day. That's more or less it, and you should be able to do some broad preparation for all of those things.
