Live Q&A: Applying for pupillage

Which section of a pupillage application really matters? How should I explain away my poor marks in the first term? Which chambers prize sobriety - and which are looking for a radical spark?

With the deadline for pupillage applications rapidly approaching, four Inner Temple pupils will be online between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday 20 April to answer questions and share their tips for a successful application. They are Daniel Lister (crime, 23 Essex Street), Qudsi Rasheed (commercial and public, Brick Court Chambers), Andrew Ashford (civil, Farrar's Building) and Heather Oliver (crime, 3 Raymond Buildings).

Also joining us will be East Anglian Chambers barrister Rupert Myers, who interviews and sifts applications from would-be pupils.

Post questions and worries below, and check back during or after the Q&A for replies.
