"You want a career at the Bar?
If clever then you will go far,
As long as you’re male
Straight, posh and pale,
And Daddy’s the Earl of Dunbar"

"In a hectic legal jungle,
Where wheely bags trundle,
New pupils, take heed:
What will increase your speed
Is a well-tabbed, paginated bundle"

Said the lad (his face turning puce)
“I can’t work any faster
For my pupilmaster
It’s frankly just pupil abuse"

"Interviews can be a bit hairy,
Barristers can be frankly scary,
But the #pupillage process,
Is rather a mess
In the end it’s quite arbitrary"
