If any chambers are willing to step in and offer mini-pupillages to replace those withdrawn by Tooks, please get in touch ([email protected]) and we’ll put you in touch with the relevant students.

UPDATE: Outer Temple Chambers is offering mini-pupillages to students who had theirs withdrawn by Tooks. Contact them on Twitter at @OuterTemple.
