5 Essex Chambers is delighted to host ‘Inside Five’, a series of open evenings designed to give you an insight into the pupillage process and life at a top-tier Chambers.

‘Inside Five’ is a series of insight evenings for prospective applicants, scheduled around the Bar Council’s Pupillage Gateway timetable. These sessions will include presentations from senior members of our pupillage committee, junior junior practitioners to give a perspective of early years’ practice, and a session on tips and tricks for pupillage applications, followed by Q&A.

Inside 5 will return in December 2025-January 2026. Please check back on this page for updates, or to receive a reminder please subscribe to our pupillage mailing list here.

“I greatly appreciated the junior-focused nature of Chambers’ virtual Pupillage Open Evening. The junior members provided insightful overviews of pupillage, the nature of work at the junior end and their social and professional life within Chambers. Their contributions gave me a valuable glimpse into junior life in Chambers and how members interact with one other. I was particularly impressed by their balance of approachability and professionalism, which made Chambers feel both welcoming and highly respectable.”
