Pupillage Q&A Evening: Your Questions Answered
Law Simplified presents its very first student event, Pupillage Q & A Evening. We had up to 100 candidates register for the event. We were joined by our specialist panel, Mary Prior QC, Sahar Farooqi and Brad Lewis, who all answered questions submitted by our participants, and provided lots of valuable tips and advice on completing the pupillage application form.
We received over 150 questions from our registrants, which were carefully sifted through and separated into eight key areas. In order to ensure everyone left the event with their answers, we reworded the questions as broadly as possible. We ended with a quick fire-round for 15 minutes, with each panellist given a minute to answer a question.
