About your chambers:

1 Crown Office Row is recognised as one of the leading sets in the UK, particularly in the fields of civil and public law. It has a stellar reputation for advocacy, court-craft, and specialist advisory work. Our barristers are known both for their forensic expertise and the versatility of their talent, which underpins all of their work.

 

About the candidate:

Chambers selects probationary tenants solely on merit. We are looking for the following:
1. Intellectual and analytical ability, including an ability to present written ideas succinctly and persuasively;
2. Oral communication and advocacy skills;
3. Temperament, including a commitment to hard work and ability to perform under pressure;
4. Interpersonal Skills, including a capacity to understand and to show understanding of the needs and problems of those for whom and with whom they work;
5. Motivation for a career at the Bar and interest in practising in 1COR’s core areas.

We emphasise that chambers has already taken the business decision to recruit one third six pupil, if the standard of candidates merits it. We have an excellent record of giving tenancies to the third sixers we recruit.

Candidates should expect to hit the ground running. You will be assigned a pupil supervisor who will support and train you to be the best that you can be.
