5 Essex Chambers is delighted to invite you to ‘Inside Five’, an in person open evening designed to give you an insight into the pupillage process and life at a top set.

1 December 2025 - 6.00 - 7.15pm - limited availability

The event will be held on 1 December in Chambers at Gray's Inn, London. Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Inside Five will give you a unique insight into life as a pupil barrister at 5 Essex Chambers and what it is like working in our areas of practice. The panel of speakers will include:

Beatrice Collier (a senior member of the Pupillage Committee)
a recent pupil to share their perspectives on pupillage at 5 Essex and transitioning into tenancy
an established junior to discuss the areas of work for early-years tenants, as well as work-life balance
a senior-junior with experience assessing pupillage application forms and interviews, who will offer tips on how to succeed in a pupillage application

After the presentations, attendees will be able to ask questions of this range of members.

As spaces are limited, a waiting list will be available once tickets have sold out. A link to join will be provided before the event.

We are also offering two online open evenings (30 October and 8 December) to enable as many people as possible from across the country to attend. Please visit our website www.5essex.co.uk/careers/inside-five/ for more details.

* By signing up to this event you agree to be added to our pupillage mailing list, which will give you top tips and reminders about pupillage applications. If you do not wish to be added please email events@5essexcourt.co.uk
