How to apply
Before submitting your application, it is essential to read our Mini Pupillage Policy.
If you would like to apply for a mini-pupillage please use the submission form on our website. You will need to attach copy of your curriculum vitae (limited to two pages) and covering letter (limited to one page). Postal applications are also accepted, FAO Robert Lassey.
Applications for mini-pupillage are a competitive process. It is recommended that you consider the criteria for applications for pupillage as a guide. Further, the way in which candidates express themselves within their application will be a factor. It would help applicants to explain how their experiences make them a better candidate for a mini pupillage.
