Mock pupillage interviews 2026 (virtual)

If you are applying for a criminal pupillage this year, the Kalisher Trust is on hand with our panels of criminal pupils / barristers / judges to offer you a virtual mock pupillage interview. You will have the opportunity to practise your interview technique in front of the panel followed by feedback and suggested areas of improvement. Past applicants have found such interviews invaluable in preparing for the upcoming pupillage interview season.

All interviews will take place over Zoom.

If you are interested in taking part, please email us at [email protected] with the subject ‘Pupillage mock interview 2026’ and the following information:

1. Your CV.

2. One criminal pupillage application form (please note the panel will interview you based on the form you submit, as if they are members of the relevant organisation).

3. A list of chambers where you have applied for pupillage this year.

4. Your availability between 6:00pm and 7:00pm on the following dates (please note we have limited numbers of panels that can run on any particular day – the greater flexibility you provide, the greater our ability is to provide you with a convenient date):

24/02/2026 – 26/02/2026

03/03/2026 – 05/03/2026

10/03/2026 – 12/03/2026

17/03/2026 – 19/03/2026

Please send this over to us by 5:00pm on 16/02/2026. Due to the amount of administrative work required I’m afraid we won’t be able to offer you a place after this date!
