Advertisements and application timetables

Under the Bar Qualification Manual, all AETOs are required to advertise any vacancies for pupillage on the Pupillage Gateway. As such, aspiring barristers can access the site throughout the year in order to browse live vacancies.

In addition to using the Pupillage Gateway to advertise, AETOs can use the portal to manage the recruitment of pupil barristers. All chambers must recruit in accordance with a pre-determined timetable, which runs from November to May annually.
