Raising the bar

Evin Mosley, a current pupil at CHW, will shortly be preparing his application to be called to the Bermuda Bar. Evin says that “CHW’s pupillage programme has allowed me to develop my problem-solving skills and legal knowledge. CHW is an opendoor workplace which is invaluable for seeking guidance comfortably in a relaxed environment. My pupil masters have been very encouraging in my training, and it has been amazing having one-to-one access with mentors who genuinely want to see one improve and thrive.”

This is a rolling application process, with a deadline of 30 June 2023 at 5pm (Bermuda time). Incomplete or late applications are likely not to be considered. If you would like more information regarding this programme, please visit www.chw.com

Bermuda’s law firms are generally very supportive of young Bermudians interested in a legal career. There are numerous legal scholarships and bursaries available. Networking is especially important on an island as small as ours, and several of the firms host student receptions to do just that. Summer employment is a good way to get a feel for a particular career. The educational and practical sides of a career can be very different, and a summer placement will allow you to experience aspects you cannot learn in school. It also gives you the opportunity to meet experienced people in your career field. Most people are very receptive to assisting young people and will go out of their way to give you their time and guidance — all you have to do is ask, ask, ask.
