How Can I Develop My Interests?
If you have a particular interest in a relatively niche area of the law, it could be worth taking active steps to gain experience or knowledge in that area. For example, leading sports lawyer Nick De Marco KC often appears on a Sports Law Podcast with Blackstone Chambers – engaging with such content on a regular basis (in a similar vein to building your commercial awareness via the FT or Economist) prepares you for those all-important applications.

Barrister Work Experience

Mini Pupillage
Work experience in a chambers in the form of mini-pupillage is an excellent way to experience what life at the Bar will involve. Find opportunities for a mini-pupillage on our website.

Court Visits
Court visits allow you to experience first-hand what a barrister does and how they represent their clients in Court. Observing hearings in Courts of different levels will provide a range of experience. Magistrates’ Courts and Crown Courts are great places to start.

Judge Marshalling
Judge marshalling allows you to shadow a judge in their daily practices. It offers a great opportunity to see how the English Legal System operates on a day-to-day basis.

Mooting
Mooting involves participating in a mock appeal trial. It provides the opportunity to practice what you will inevitably have to do should you choose to be a barrister.

How Long Does it Take to Become a Barrister?
It can take up to five years to become a fully qualified barrister if you take the ‘traditional route’ – including three years to complete a qualifying law degree at university, one year to complete a bar course and a one-year pupillage. If you have a degree in a non-law subject and you are pursuing a law conversion course, it will take up to six years to become a barrister.

Why Should You Become a Barrister?
The Bar offers one of the most rewarding, exciting, and challenging careers available. From a closing speech in a silent courtroom to negotiating new contract terms or cross-examining a witness, no two days are the same. The varied nature of barrister work is one of its biggest draws for many.

A career at the Bar is focused on solving problems and resolving disputes. If you relish winning a debate, reaching logical and reasoned conclusions and finding solutions to complex issues, then you could thrive at the Bar.

The Bar is a very sociable and close-knit community. Many barristers value the camaraderie of chambers, the social events run by the Inns of Court and the friendships they form amid shared interests and challenges. This sense of collegiality (to some extent) makes up for the fact that barristers generally work more independently than solicitors within law firms.
