Pupillage Fair goes virtual

The Bar Council Pupillage Fair, now in its fifth year, will be entirely virtual this year, the Bar Council has said

The fair had looked set to be cancelled. However, it has now been given the green light and will go ahead entirely online, on 17 October 2020. Last year’s fair attracted more than 800 aspiring barristers, 80 exhibitors and hundreds of volunteers from across the Bar.

Malcolm Cree, Bar Council chief executive, said: ‘It’s essential to embrace technology and modern ways of working in the current crisis.’
