Equality and diversity
We believe it is important to encourage equality and diversity at the Bar. We hope by offering these mini-pupillages that we help widen the pool of people who gain an insight into life at the Bar.
Therefore we would be very grateful if you would fill in our diversity data form and submit it with your application. However, completing the form is voluntary.
Any diversity information we receive is solely used, after offers of mini pupillage have been made, to monitor whether we are attracting applicants from a range of backgrounds. It will not be considered by the people reviewing your application.
