We are now accepting applications for our 2026/27 mini-pupillage scheme.
We offer approximately ten mini-pupillages per year. Mini-pupillages normally last three consecutive days and offer an excellent insight into life at the Bar and the work of Cloisters. Our expectation is that most mini-pupillages will take place in January/February 2027 (although precise dates will vary).
Our mini-pupillage scheme is aimed at individuals who are considering a career as a barrister, and who are genuinely interested in our areas of practice. They are not assessed, and completing a mini-pupillage at Cloisters is not a condition of applying for pupillage with us.
To apply, please return a completed application form via email to Minipupils@cloisters.com by 5pm on Wednesday 25 November 2026.
The application form is available to download here.
