We adhere to the Pupillage Gateway timetable when seeking new pupils. Using the Pupillage Gateway, we recruited eight new pupils in 2025/26, who commenced pupillage in September/October 2026.
We welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, transgender candidates and candidates with a disability, who are under-represented in our membership.
In the most recent pupillage round, we offered the following pupillages:
- Three criminal pupillages (one in Sheffield, one in Chester and one in Manchester)
- Four family pupillages (one in Sheffield, one in Liverpool, one in Manchester and one in Chester)
- One Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence pupillage (in Manchester)
For more information on the Pupillage Gateway procedure and timetable please visit the Bar Council Pupillage Gateway.
