Chambers could be made to match their recruitment timetable with the Pupillage Gateway. All pupillages must currently be advertised on the gateway, but the Bar Standards Board (BSB) believes that obliging all those offering pupillage to recruit to the same timetable would make recruitment fairer for all candidates.
