It’s good news for aspiring barristers.
The 2023-24 Regulatory Decisions Report, which is published annually by the Bar Standards Board has been released.
The report revealed that a whopping 614 barristers began their pupillage during the reporting period.
This figure is a significant increase on 535 in 2022/23, 539 in 2021/22 and 416 in 2020/21.
Getting a pupillage is notoriously competitive, and in the years post pandemic pupillage numbers had been dropping. So this will be encouraging information for those considering a career at the bar.
