“This has to be the nastiest time of the year for budding barristers. It is hunting season and the prize is one of those coveted pupillages. At the end of April a swarm of hopefuls sent their carefully crafted pupillage applications whizzing off into the unknown. Some may even have knocked out extra applications to sets of chambers not subscribing to the Bar’s version of UCAS, the dreaded Pupillage Portal.
