EVENTS
Preparing for the next pupillage cycle
October 2025 - "How to get pupillage" Newsletter
Did you know that MTYBA has interviewed five recent pupils and tenants from 42BR, 2 King’s Bench Walk, Outer Temple, 3 Hare Court and Trinity Chambers about their journeys to pupillage and tips for applicants? They shared some real “golden nuggets” (see the Newsletter for the reference) that will strengthen your pupillage applications.
You can read the Newsletter on our website or our social media accounts.
Paper Sift
3 December 2025 - Pupillage Application Panel
MTYBA hosted a Pupillage Applications Panel on 3 December 2025, where Colin Thomann KC, Mercy Milgo, Simon Myerson KC, Catharine Langley and Anna Gatrell gave tips for various parts of a pupillage application form and answered questions. It was a great evening filled with practical advice for pupillage applications, and we had a strong turnout both in person and online.
Thank you for everyone who joined us and we hope attendees will be able to apply what they learned as they prepare to submit their applications on 22 January 2026.
