Following our continued growth throughout 2022 and the success of our second Pupillage programme, Crown Chambers is delighted to have welcomed its third cohort of Pupils.

Our four new Pupils commenced their Pupillage this week, working side-by-side with their experienced Supervisors and running with various cases. Each of the four new Pupils will initially focus on either criminal or family law matters. The pupils will benefit from spending time with their supervisors to gain experience in all the areas of law we practice and see how each barrister undertakes their skillful caseload.

Meet the Pupils
