From 12:00–13:30, we’ll host a Pupillage Session featuring practising barristers and pupillage supervisors. This informative discussion will cover the pupillage application process, interviews, the first and second six, and client management—followed by an interactive Q&A.

This session is open to LLB students, Bar course students, Bar graduates, unregistered barristers, and practising barristers.

Enjoy networking over light refreshments from 13:30–14:10, before our Debate begins at 14:20, concluding at 16:00. This debate is open to everyone, and we welcome participation.

The topic for the debate is "This House believes That AI poses more harm than solutions to society".
