Pupillage Professional Ethics
The ICCA’s Pupillage Ethics materials have been designed to assist pupils in their preparation for the Bar Standards Board’s centrally-set Pupillage Ethics Exam.
Who does this apply to?
Passing the professional ethics assessment is a requirement for all pupils (unless you have a specific exemption authorised by the BSB).
To obtain an exemption you need to contact the BSB directly.
What do the materials cover?
The ICCA has based its Pupillage Ethics Materials on the syllabus set by the Bar Standards Board and every care has been taken to ensure it provides a comprehensive guide to the provisions on which the syllabus is based. However, the exam itself is set and marked by the BSB and the ICCA has no involvement in this process.
How do I access the materials?
The ICCA Pupillage Ethics materials are currently available for a fee: £150 for pupils, £75 for ICCA alumni. You will have access to the materials for 12 months, irrespective of when you take the BSB’s assessment.
