Applications for mentoring scheme are now open
We are pleased to announce that applications to the Property, Planning and Public Law Mentoring Scheme are now open.
What is the scheme?
The scheme was launched in 2021 and is run in partnership with seven other planning, property and public law sets (Landmark Chambers, Cornerstone Barristers, Field Court Chambers, Francis Taylor Building, Gatehouse Chambers, Kings Chambers, 39 Essex Chambers and No 5 Chambers). The Planning and Environment Bar Association supports the scheme. It is intended to encourage undergraduates and postgraduates from groups that are not well represented at the Bar to consider becoming barristers. These underrepresented groups include women, people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds.
What does it entail?
Successful applicants will be offered:
- one-to-one meetings with a mentor
- a workshop on applications for pupillage, and
- one or more social events with mentors and other mentees.
How to apply
If you would like to apply for a place on the scheme, please first read the application guidance and then fill out an application form and email it to mentoring@cornerstonebarristers.com. Please use this same address if you have any questions about the process.
The deadline is 23:59 on 10 October 2025.
