A ten-week residency for 2L students. Substantive work, direct supervision by members, and the institutional culture that defines the rest of the chambers.
The chambers’ Summer Pupillage is intentionally small — typically six to ten 2L students each summer across all six offices. The programme is structured around substantive work, member-level supervision, and the institutional culture that defines the chambers.
Summer pupils are assigned to real instructions within the chambers’ active practice. They produce substantive work product under supervision and participate in matter-level discussions appropriate to their stage. We do not contrive case-studies for the programme.
We recruit from law schools across the U.S. and selected graduate programmes abroad. We look for substantive academic record, evidence of professional discipline, and the cultural fit with our model. We do not optimise for a narrow demographic or institutional profile.
The majority of Summer Pupillage participants who receive offers join the chambers following graduation. The programme is, deliberately, the chambers’ principal associate-hiring channel.
