Got a pupillage? Congratulations, but you are only halfway there. Simon Myerson QC on how to negotiate the second part of the journey to becoming a barrister 
I concede that I embark on this piece with a degree of trepidation. I pretend to no great expertise on how one converts a pupillage into a tenancy. It has happened to me twice: at the end of my pupillage in London, when I suspect the motive was the future payment of clerks’ fees, and in my current chambers, where I was essentially told ‘no one refuses to share a building with you, so you’ll do’.
