The Legal Cheek Virtual Pupillage Fair Series

Legal Cheek‘s final Virtual Pupillage Fair of 2024 took place on Thursday 12 December (2-4pm). We’ll be back in 2025 with details of next year’s Virtual Pupillage Fairs.

Drawing on Legal Cheek‘s unrivalled law student subscriber and follower base, as well its extensive campus ambassador network, the Fairs give students from all parts of the UK the opportunity to meet the nation’s leading chambers from their laptops, as well as the Inns of Court and several leading law schools.

Come along to the Fairs to ask your questions directly to barristers, explore different practice areas, and pick up application tips. All of this for free and from the comfort of your own home.

Over 6,000 students from more than 120 universities have participated in our Pupillage Fairs since their launch four years ago.

How it works

When you enter the main room, you will see all of the exhibitors (chambers, Inns, and law schools). You can click on whichever exhibitors interest you and enter their booths. Inside the booth, there will be a video livestream so you can chat on camera to representatives from the chambers. Feeling camera shy? There will also be a text live chat so that you can ask all of your questions.

Have you wondered what makes a particular chambers stand out from its competitors? Or what a day in the life of a pupil is really like? Or what the most interesting case a certain barrister has ever worked on is? This is the place to be to find out.

Most chambers send along a pupil or a baby junior so you can talk to people who were in the same position as you not so long ago, meaning they can also give you advice for the application process. But there will also be a handful of senior barristers and KCs in attendance.

Throughout the day, there will also be a number of workshops taking place. These have previously included workshops titled: “Make Your Pupillage Application Stand Out”, “Interview Tips and Tricks”, and “Life at the Commercial Chancery Bar”. Drop into these workshops, run by chambers and law schools, to ensure that you enter application season giving yourself the best chance of securing pupillage.

If you are a chambers or law school would like to get involved, please contact fairs@legalcheek.com for more details.
