University of Cambridge Barristers Fair 2026

Meet a niche group of organisations offering pupillages at the official University of Cambridge Barristers Fair. This event will help you find answers to all the questions you have about the Bar from those working at a cross-section of chambers as well as representatives from Law Schools. Learn more about routes in to the profession, qualifications needed to become a barrister and funding options available. Practicing barristers will share their experience of the Bar as well as different practice areas and application tips.

Who is this event for?

Students and recent graduates wanting to engage directly with organisations looking for barristers in an informal setting to:

• develop insights into different company cultures, working practices and career paths and compare what they have to offer
• discuss career paths and job roles and where you might fit
• gain inside information on hiring and selection processes
• build your network
