Practical considerations

Other practical considerations chambers should consider are:[1]

  • Arrival and waiting: chambers should think about who will greet candidates upon arrival and how they will be engaged while waiting. For example, the Bar Council recommends having a junior tenant or current pupil available in waiting areas to chat with candidates or provide reading material about chambers. [2]
  • Refreshments: chambers should consider whether to provide refreshments during the interview process.
  • Logistics: chambers should decide how interviews should take place (in person or online) and, if in person, where interviews will take place and how the room should be arranged.

Although seemingly minor, attention to these details allows chambers and BSB entities to distinguish themselves.
