Mission: Wig came out of the frustration of having to work everything out for ourselves on the path to getting the fancy looking gown and the itchy little wig. Unless your family are already barristers, the route is, at first glance, complex and unnervingly opaque. Our mission is to make the whole route easy to understand and shed some light on the sometimes rather dingy route to the bar.

​

The Pupillage Checklist is out main tool. It's a simple tick box list on which every successful pupillage applicant will be able to check off the majority of the points. It is not a list to be completed without thought. Simply completing it without working out how the associated task will help your pupillage application is absolutely pointless so please take the time to read through the explanations provided.
