Deka Chambers was delighted to attend the Bar Council’s Pupillage Fair on Saturday 14 October 2023.
We met a large number of potential applicants, who we hope were interested to learn about the multiple areas of practice we offer to pupils and the high quality of work available, with the potential for specialism, as their careers progress through tenancy.

Deka Chambers will be holding an online pupillage event next month in advance of the application window opening in line with the central Bar Council timetable in early January.
