7 Bedford Row. As a pupil, you will have three pupil supervisors, each one for four months in different areas of practice. They give you as broad an experience as posible and provide a reasonable balance between criminal, civil and family work. The first four months of pupillage will introduce you to civil work, the second four months to criminal work. During this first eight months you will see at least two weeks of family work. Six months into your pupillage, you will be given a choice as to how you wish to spend your final four months of pupillage, either choosing a different area of civil or criminal work from that done in your first eight months or you may wish to choose family, employment or one of the many other areas.
