BDABar Mini-Pupillage Scheme 2025-2026  Bringing (Dis)Ability to the Bar runs an annual mini-pupillage scheme, providing aspiring disabled barristers with work experience opportunities at various chambers and organisations at the Employed Bar. Mini-pupillages are crucial for various reasons, including assisting aspiring barristers in gaining insight into life at the Bar, helping them decide whether they wish to become barristers, breaking down prejudice and misinformation about the Bar, and respecting the Bar's tradition of encouraging the next generation. Disabled aspiring barristers will have the opportunity to see the work barristers undertake, observe court hearings, and start building their own network with Bar professionals. Through this scheme, BDABar also seeks to enable Chambers to reconsider their accessibility and, in collaboration with BDABar, take positive steps to become more accessible and inclusive for their mini-pupils, pupils, barristers, members of staff and cli...

  Ever wondered what charity law actually is? You're not alone - and that's exactly why we made this. I'm thrilled to share the first video in our brand-new "New to Charity Law" series, kicking off with the big question: What is charity law? I believe the charity sector is stronger when it reflects the full diversity of the communities it serves. That means opening the door wider - especially for students and aspiring lawyers who might never have considered this fascinating corner of the legal world. These videos are part of the CLA's EDI work to encourage people from all backgrounds to explore a career in charity law. They feature candid conversations between members of our Executive Committee, sharing real insight into what this area of law involves, what charity lawyers actually do day-to-day, and how you can break into the field. Special thanks to Simon Steeden , Elizabeth Jones , Saffa Mir , and Matthew Mills for kicking off this series! Charity Law ...
