The Lamb Building and Keating Chambers’ Summer School is returning this year from 7-9 July 2026.
The Summer School is open to LLB as well as final year non-law undergraduate students, GDL and Bar Course students, and those who have completed their studies who have an interest in Commercial, Criminal, or Civil Law. Lamb Building and Keating Chambers are collaborating to offer this unique opportunity by delivering sessions led by tenants and pupils from both sets. As well as learning what it is like to practice in these areas, other sessions will cover pupillage applications, interview skills, advocacy and life as a pupil.
The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday 7 July, 17.30-19.30 - Civil Law & Criminal Law Talk
Barristers from Lamb Building and Keating Chambers provide an overview of their Criminal Law and Civil Law practices, respectively, with an opportunity for questions at the end of the session.
Wednesday 8 July, 17.30-20:00 - Pupillage Panel and Application & Interview Skills
An interactive session with current and recent pupils from Lamb Building and Keating Chambers in which they share their insights into life as a pupil at their respective sets and answer questions from attendees. Thereafter, barristers from Lamb Building and Keating Chambers will share some of their top tips when it comes to pupillage applications and the pupillage interview process.
Thursday 9 July, 17.30-19.30 - Advocacy Tips
Barristers from Lamb Building and Keating Chambers lead an advocacy skills talk followed by an interactive session where attendees have a unique opportunity to practice some advocacy in a friendly and relaxed setting.
The Summer School is not assessed or scored in any way; it is designed to be a relaxed and inclusive environment, with the aim of providing aspiring pupils with as much information, advice, and opportunity as possible to support their journey to pupillage.
