Chambers could be made to match their recruitment timetable with the Pupillage Gateway. All pupillages must currently be advertised on the gateway, but the Bar Standards Board (BSB) believes that obliging all those offering pupillage to recruit to the same timetable would make recruitment fairer for all candidates. The gateway timetable is between November and May. BSB director of strategy and policy, Ewen Macleod, said: ‘Irrespective of whether we have contacted them or not, we would welcome views from anyone on this matter.’ Views should be submitted by 5pm, 31 July; see here for more.
