2 King's Bench Walk is a highly respected Common Law set of Chambers based in
London and Portsmouth. Our practice areas are Crime, Family, Civil and
Immigration.
This advertisement is for Portsmouth only.
Chambers currently has 47 members and is well known for its friendly and
approachable manner.
Pupillage starts in June and lasts for a period of 12 months. Pupils can expect to
have 2 different Pupillage supervisors during their 12 months and will experience a
range of specialisms including Crime, Civil, Family and Immigration cases. During
the second six months pupils will undertake a variety of instructions including
paperwork. Pupils should expect to appear in the Magistrates Court, the County
Court, Crown Court and the AIT.
Pupils will be expected to spend time in both London and on the Western Circuit and
so must be prepared to travel.
Chambers aims to ensure that our pupillages are as varied and interesting as
possible, and also that communication between pupils and other members of
Chambers is as productive and instructive as possible.
Pupillages are offered on a combination of academic merit, success at interview and
the candidates' compatibility with Chambers. Success at the short first interview
gives candidates the opportunity to attend a second interview where you will be
expected to answer questions in more depth and give a short presentation to a
panel.
Pupillages are funded by an award of £18,000 per annum. This is broken down as
follows: £6,000 for the first six months; thereafter £12,000 guaranteed earnings in
second six months.
Chambers offers two pupillages a year and junior tenants are generally recruited
from those who have undertaken a period of pupillage at 2 King's Bench Walk. The
decision regarding tenancy is made by the Tenancy Committee and all pupils who
are eligible and apply will be considered. Decisions regarding tenancy are usually
made in May following the pupillage year.
