Pupillage

Hundred Court Chambers is delighted to welcome applications for pupillage in accordance with the timetable set out below.

We have now received confirmation of our 'Authorised Education and Training Organisation' (AETO) status from the Bar Standards Board and due to the delay in processing our application we have also received a waiver from the usual pupillage advertising and recruitment requirements for this year. Accordingly, we can now formally accept applications for the following pupillages:

• One Civil pupillage to start in October 2026, and another Civil pupillage to start in October 2027
• One Family pupillage to start in October 2026, and another Family pupillage to start in October 2027
• One Business and Property pupillage to start in October 2027

Hundred Court Chambers only take pupils with a view to offering tenancy and we strive to ensure that every pupillage provides solid foundations for those interested in building a long and successful career at the Bar. We intend to recruit exceptional candidates keen to join a friendly, supportive and ambitious chambers.

We offer pupillage funding of £50,000, made up of £5,000 up front at the start of pupillage, £15,000 during the first six months, and guaranteed earnings of £30,000 during the second six months.
