Scholarship Details
** The scholarship will entail spending three to four weeks at each of two different sets of barristers’ chambers in London that practice in the candidate’s preferred areas of law.
** These placements would usually involve opportunities to see advocacy in action, and the scholar will typically be asked to assist with research and/or drafting, the idea being that the scholar will gain an insight into how these areas of law are dealt with in England and Wales.
** In addition to spending time in barristers’ chambers, the scholar would also visit various institutions such as the Supreme Court, the High Court and the Old Bailey, where the scholar would be looked after by a Judge of that court for the day.
** The scholar will be provided with a stipend to cover the living costs and will be also given assistance in securing accommodation in London. Air fare, travel insurance and visa fee are not part of the scholarship.
