We are looking for Chambers or Legal Firms to support the BTB Academy through providing interview advocacy training. This would involve 6 BTB candidates coming to your chambers for training sessions over four consecutive Saturday/Sundays in February 2023. The training will focus on the types of advocacy exercises you may be asked to complete in pupillage interviews. If you are interested, please contact [email protected].

Would you like to provide resources for our advocacy training sessions? We need resources for our advocacy training workshops. This includes sample cases or exercises across all practice areas. If you would like to contribute to creating materials for our training sessions, please contact [email protected].

Would you like to sign up to our Mini Pupillage Programme? If Chambers are not yet signed up to our Mini Pupillage Programme and would like to provide BTB Academy candidates with mini pupillages throughout the 2022/23 academic year, please contact [email protected].

Individual Pupils, Barristers and Judges

Would you like to volunteer for us? We are looking for individual volunteers to assist with the BTB Academy. More information on the Academy can be found here. We need volunteers to assist with mentoring and/or sitting on our consultancy panel. These volunteers could be pupils, barristers and judges (practicing and non-practicing). If you or anyone you know would like to volunteer then please use the link to sign up here.
