Pupillage
This information is for the guidance of applicants for pupillage for the year 2011/2012.
Applications should be made through Pupillage Portal Scheme (On Line Pupillage Application System) which is designed to enable students to apply for pupillage through a central clearing house. Details about this scheme can be obtained from the Bar Council's web site.
There are two recruitment seasons: one in the Summer and one in the Autumn. We recruit in the Summer season.
Summer season applications under the Pupillage Portal scheme is now closed. We will be recruiting candidates for pupillage for the year 2012/2013 in the Summer season through the Pupillage Portal system in March 2011. If you have any further queries please contact Javan Abass on javan@fountaincourt.co.uk
We have sought to develop procedures for selecting pupils which, without being unduly onerous and time-consuming for applicants, are fair, and which, in particular, do not discriminate against any pupil or applicant for pupillage on grounds of race, sex, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, age or political persuasion. We would welcome any observations or suggestions as to how we might improve our procedures.
Fountain Court’s current pupillage policy, which includes details of our pupillage selection procedure, can be downloaded from this site.
