Q.22
How much detail should I record in
my pupillage logbook?
You may want to
adopt the template of the pupillage
logbook contained in Annex 5 of the
Code. For confidentiality of your pupil
master’s
practice, while you should record the
nature of the cases and your work, you
are not required to, and you should not,
disclose details of your pupil master’s
cases which would identify the lay clients
or particular court cases handled by
your pupil masters.

Q.23
How do I know if my pupillage logbook
is acceptable?
Your pupillage logbook
should be handed to your pupil master
for his/her comment on your work and
involvement. Your pupil master is also
required to sign your logbook to signify
his/her acceptance of the record of the
work done by you. If necessary, the Special
Committee on Pupillage and Limited Practice
may require clarification of the logbook
from the pupil and/or the pupil master.
