3PB is a leading, established set of Barristers Chambers; with over 150 members spread over five Centres and ten Practice Groups, it also one of the largest in the UK.
Chambers’ Bournemouth centre has a long history and a reputation for high quality advice and advocacy at all levels across the Wessex region and beyond, and they are now inviting applications for a third six pupillage in General Common Law with an emphasis on Personal Injury and related areas.
Applications (by way of CV and covering letter) should be submitted by e-mail to Steve Clark, Head of Clerking at sc@3pb.co.uk. (closing date 30th April).
Chambers is an equal opportunities employer and all applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
An assessed mini-pupillage is an important part of our application process for pupillage. While not a requirement, it is very strongly recommended. We are likely to offer a pupillage interview to those who have not done an assessed mini-pupillage only in exceptional cases.
Contact information: Claire Halas, Chambers Administrator (Claire.Halas@11kbw.com).
Deadline for submission of applications: Pupillage applications are to be made through Pupillage Portal, in accordance with the standard Pupillage Portal timetable. Mini-pupillage applications are considered at any time.

“On 29 February 2005, Saajid Badat pleaded guilty to a terrorist conspiracy to destroy, damage or endanger the safety of an aircraft. Badat admitted that in 2001 he had conspired with ‘the shoe bomber’ Richard Reid and a Tunisian, Nizar Trabelsi, in a plot simultaneously to act as suicide bombers in order to blow up two airliners bound for the US. For two months following his plea, Badat assisted UK investigators; however, he held back on a good deal of information.”
