Chambers is delighted to announce that we are offering two funded 12-month pupillages to begin in October 2027.
Chambers is offering one pupillage in Family work and one pupillage with our Crime team.
Both pupils will be based at 33 Bedford Row in London.
Applying for Pupillage
Applications for a funded 12-month pupillage to begin in October 2027 should be made via Pupillage Gateway between 5th and 22nd January 2026.
Please note that Chambers has two separate adverts on the Pupillage Gateway; one for the Family pupillage and one for the Crime pupillage. Our Pupillage Gateway advert for the Crime pupillage can be found here: 33 Bedford Row – 12 Month Crime Pupillage – October 2027 | 22 January, 2026 | Jobs and careers with Bar Council
Our Pupillage Gateway advert for the Family pupillage can be found here: 33 Bedford Row – 12 Month Family Pupillage – October 2027 | 22 January, 2026 | Jobs and careers with Bar Council
Candidates invited to attend a first and/or second round interview will be interviewed in the period March to May 2026.
Chambers will make offers to successful candidates on 8th May 2026.
We wish all eligible candidates the best of luck with their applications.
Pupillage Standard
We expect applicants to have at least an upper-second class degree (which need not be in law). We wish to recruit outstanding candidates regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, gender or gender identity.
Tenancy decision
33 Bedford Row has a gradual policy of expansion, and looks to take on outstanding pupils as tenants, but not everyone who applies will be offered a tenancy. Our decision will be based on your overall performance in pupillage but particular regard will be given to the feedback from others about your written work and performance in the advocacy training. Chambers has a good track record of offering tenancy upon the successful completion of pupillage.
