Applications are now open for the MCCBA’s Black Mini Pupillage Scheme, which is aimed at increasing and promoting the diversity of barristers in our practice area in which black barristers are underrepresented.

Applications for 2026 will close on 13 February 2026 and be considered within 6 weeks of that date, with successful applicants to be announced no later than the end of March 2026.

Details of the Scheme are available here and you can download an application form (MS Word) here.
