Equipping future and experienced pupil supervisors with the knowledge and skill to successfully mentor pupil barristers, in line with Bar Standards Board requirements.

Experienced barristers are well aware that the pupillage experience can make or break an individual’s legal career.

This training aims to prepare practitioners to mentor, support and engage effectively with their pupils as they become competent practitioners in their own right.

In completing this training, you will develop an understanding, or refresh your knowledge of, BSB requirements and the qualities needed to be a successful pupil supervisor, ensuring your pupils are ready for the beginning of their career.

Developed for barristers new to pupil supervision and experienced supervisors looking to refresh their skillset.

*Our training meets all recommendations per Baroness Harriet Harman’s KC Report. With all our training, we ensure they are updated regularly to be reflective of any new reports, guidance, and as such, we will be adding an additional lesson to highlight what the report covered and recommended.

What our Clients Say

  • Provided a plethora of information. I particularly liked the key points highlighted for each section as well as where I needed to go for further information. The feedback from actual pupils was also helpful and demonstrated the impact that a bad pupillage experience can have on the pupil, but also highlighted how much more likely the pupil was likely to succeed at the Bar if taught well and with high standards.
