The Mini Pupil: Praiseworthy Chambers

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/p/praiseworthy-chambers.html

We all know the usual routine: you send off your application to Joe Bloggs Chambers, and then you never hear from them again. Considering how easy it is to put applicants out of their misery, the very least that you can expect from a Chambers is that they send you a polite rejection. Outlining your reasons, or just leave a comment below. In no particular order:. Detailed post on the Pupillage Pages outlining their process, prompt, courteous rejection emails. 12 June 2012 at 20:53. 1 July 2012 at 23:26.

The Mini Pupil: April 2012

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html

Friday, 13 April 2012. Have been in touch with their comments on the first draft of the form. One of the more interesting things was how differently each of them approached the task of tearing me a new one. The Judge replied: "Looks fine to me". Which was, at least, reassuring. Tuesday, 10 April 2012. Which Sets shall I apply to? One of the toughest aspects of applying for pupillage is deciding which 12 Sets you're actually going to be applying to, out of the myriad available. Firstly, I removed Set 3.

Thursday, 5 July 2012. Sadly no one came to find me at 7.04. Well, Ladyfemale did but she was one minute late so no money for her. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Mini Pupil: Pupillage Eve

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012/08/pupillage-eve.html

Wednesday, 1 August 2012. So, some time after 9am tomorrow I find out whether I have a pupillage. I've been terrible at updating this log in recent weeks - this evening I hope to sit down, write a few posts and get you all caught up with the state of play. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Mini Pupil: D-Day (well, the first of many)

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012/07/d-day-well-first-of-many.html

Monday, 2 July 2012. D-Day (well, the first of many). Due to hear back from at least 5 first rounds today. Already had two post-interview rejections this morning. Feeling completely inadequate, but we survive and grow stronger. Results for the BPTC on Thursday. Tenner says I've failed civil. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Mini Pupil: August 2012

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, 2 August 2012. I'm delighted to announce that I just accepted an offer from Dream Set. Am mad with joy. Wednesday, 1 August 2012. Honestly, too nervous to write. So how do things stand? Do I think I'll get an offer with Dream Set? No But by God I'd love it if that would happen. Anyhow, some time after 9am tomorrow I'll find out. For now I'll sit here, watching the olympics, too nervous to do very much at all, too nervous to sleep - daring to daydream about some good new tomorrow.

The Mini Pupil: February 2012

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 28 February 2012. Mini-Pupillage - Day 2 14/2/2012. Eddie called me a few hours after I got home from Day 1 and told me to meet him at Kingston Crown Court at nine the next morning:. ABH Probably racially aggravated. Might be some football involvement as well. And we've got a have-a-go-hero. And Kingston is 2 minutes from my house so I can get up at 8.45. Magic.". After the excitement of a Magistrate's Court Trial, I was worried that the Crown Court would appear positively dull in comparison.

The Mini Pupil: May 2012

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Thursday, 31 May 2012. So, after a year of (fairly)(ish) hard work, I've finished the BPTC. Unless I've failed one of my exams (always a chance given the rumours going round about an 80% failure rate in the civil litigation paper), that's the end of my formal legal education. I know I'll be learning new things every day once I start pupillage (yes, I know, if); but it's nice to know that my next step will be to swap the classroom for the courtroom. Now all I have to do is get a bloody pupillage. I would,...

The Mini Pupil: I owe you, dear readers, a tenner

http://mini-pupil.blogspot.com/2012/07/i-owe-you-dear-readers-tenner.html

Thursday, 5 July 2012. I owe you, dear readers, a tenner. BPTC results came out today. Considering how much I've moaned an whined in anticipation of failing, I feel quite embarrassed. You see, miraculously (and only God knows how) I managed to get an Outstanding. In my last post I made the Internet a wager, stating that I'd failed civil. Obviously, I didn't, and apologise for my melodrama. 16 March 2013 at 19:36. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). BPTC student, aiming to practice at the criminal Bar.
