Self-designed pupillages

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) has called for chambers and employers to be put back in charge of designing pupillages for aspiring barristers, in a pamphlet titled Future Bar Training. It argues that it should instead focus on ensuring barristers have the right knowledge and skills at the end of the educational process, while pupillage training organisations determine the structure of the pupillage. Currently, the BSB must approve any pupillages that deviate from the standard format.
