T hinking about pupillage and your future career in law can be overwhelming: Bar Course deadlines\, dr afting pupillage applications\, and keeping up wit h legal developments\, you may not have the time t o research and ask about those “niche” areas of la w that have piqued your interest. You may have tho ught\, can I specialise in media law with little e xternal experience in the sector? How much advocac y is involved in being an intellectual property ba rrister? What is the difference between environmen tal law and planning law?
\n \nThis Qualify ing Session is your time to ask these questions an d find out more about these smaller\, but equally important\, areas of law. There will be barristers from multiple areas of law\, they will each descr ibe a “day in the life of” and how they came to sp ecialise in it. There will be a reception after fo r you to mingle with the practitioners and your pe ers\, refreshments will be provided.
