Pupillage Application Window Now Open

We are currently recruiting up to four pupils, to commence pupillage in October 2027, in the upcoming application round.

The application window will close on 22 January 2026. 

Deka Chambers is a common law set whose members practise across a range of areas of law. Our main areas of practice include personal injury, clinical negligence, crime, public family (care), private family (both children and adults), police, regulation, travel, inquests and Court of Protection work. Our barristers also practise in professional negligence, property, inquiry and public sector work. Many of our cases involve vulnerable and injured people, human rights considerations and matters of public interest.

Our pupils experience work in our main areas during the non-practising period of pupillage (the first six months) and undertake cases in a mixture of areas in the practising period (the second six). This arrangement provides enviable advocacy and drafting experience and develops an interesting and varied practice. We will support each pupil with a financial package worth £70,000.
