Congratulations if you’re starting #pupillage in the next few weeks! Here are my tips from my own baptism of fire in 2015-16:
1. Be nice. Seriously. It’s the golden rule.
2. You don’t have to show off your intellect every second; you do have to be appropriate. See rule 1. (1/5)

Delighted that Sir Andrew McFarlane has been appointed President of the Family Division. His family law prize at @DurhamLawSchool has seen him judge moots, mentor many of my students and offer invaluable marshalling opportunities in the RCJ. Great news!

If asked for a presentation, don’t be tempted to give a dramatic performance! Think of it as a moot - keep submissions structured #pupillage

Writing applications? It's not a poetry comp: keep it short & to the point. For inspiration read Denning MR's 1st para in Hinz v Berry [1970] 2WLR 684 #apptips

Preparing a pupillage application? When discussing #minipupillages don't just say what you did - say what you learnt and how you were able to apply your knowledge
