Pupillage is important to us. We see the success of our pupils as essential to chambers’ future success. We only offer as many pupillages as we have vacancies for tenancy, and we only recruit pupils who we believe have the potential to become successful members of Radcliffe Chambers.

We only recruit pupils who we believe have the potential to become successful members of chambers. That means demonstrating:

• Intellect – Being a barrister is intellectually challenging, so make sure your application highlights your academic achievements
• Commerciality – We think a deep understanding of the issues affecting our clients is crucial to providing the best possible service
• Persuasiveness – You must have the potential to become an outstanding advocate, as evidenced through strong public speaking experience
• Credibility – We value personal impact and the ability to build long-lasting, collaborative relationships with clients and within chambers
• Commitment – We are looking for pupils who have strong reasons for applying to Radcliffe Chambers, and for wanting to become a chancery/commercial barrister

That’s it. There is no Radcliffe Chambers type. We believe that to provide the best possible service to our clients, we need a team that embraces a wide variety of perspectives and life experiences.
