This virtual session forms the second part of the Bar Series and focuses on preparing strong pupillage applications as deadlines approach. The session covers key questions candidates face at the application stage, including how to choose the right chambers, refine a legal CV, draft persuasive written applications that progress through the paper sift, and perform effectively at interview. The event features a talk from James Leech, Future Pupil Programme Coordinator at The University of Law, followed by a live Q&A with a panel of current pupils. Speakers share practical insight into what chambers look for and how successful candidates distinguish themselves during the selection process. It is aimed at students and graduates considering the Bar who want clearer guidance on navigating pupillage applications and avoiding common pitfalls.
