Member Benefits
Mentoring Scheme
The South Eastern Circuit Mentoring Scheme pairs established practitioners with experienced colleagues — including KCs and senior juniors — across the Circuit. The scheme is one of the Circuit's most valued member benefits.
Who can take part
For mentees
Pupils and junior barristers
Pupils and junior barristers practising on the South Eastern Circuit are invited to apply for a mentor. Members will be able to apply through the member portal once that workflow is live.
For mentors
Senior practitioners and KCs
Senior members of the Circuit who would like to volunteer as mentors are warmly invited to register their interest. Mentor sign-up will be available through the member portal alongside the mentee workflow.
For silk applicants
Silk mentoring
