Great James Street chambers operates the following policy
regarding pupillage.

Chambers and Areas of Work:

Chambers was founded in January 2005, we currently have
Eleven members including one Q.C. We hope to continue a
steady growth over the next few years. Our core areas of work are
Commercial Crime, General & Serious Crime, Extradition,
Mutual Legal Assistance, Confiscation, Immigration,
Administrative Law, Disciplinary Tribunals, Licensing, Family and
Civil Litigation. We currently have one pupil master and will be
offering a Criminal Pupillage.

Pupillage Recruitment:

Applications should be made direct to chambers marked for the
attention of the Pupillage Secretary. We are not a member of
OLPAS but are happy to receive applications by e-mail as well as
by post.

All applications received will be gathered and short listed to
approximately 20 applicants who will be invited for interview.
The interviews will be conducted in chambers with 2 or 3
members of chambers and/or the Senior Clerk. Candidates may
be asked to return for a second interview with the same or

different members of chambers in attendance.

The successful applicant will be offered a 12 month funded
pupillage at £6,000 for the first six months, and a guaranteed
income of £1,000 per month for the second six months. Pupils
will be asked to pay 7% chambers contribution on any earnings
received form the start of their second six months. Chambers
reserves the right to withhold instalments or payments and to
request repayment of payment should there be an early
termination of pupillage.

The Successful applicant & Pupil Supervisors:

Pupils will be assigned to a “Pupil Supervisor” and where
possible will have a different supervisor per six month period.
Pupils will work at a desk in their supervisors room, not on their
own. Pupils will not be expected to pay for any travel or
accommodation expenses when accompanying their supervisors
to court or conferences.
