Pupillage

Nicholson, who heard about Okewale through his son, who was friends with a worker at the supermarket’s fish counter, gave Okewale his start with his mini-pupillage and has been his mentor ever since.

Pupillage has eluded me because after completing solicitor qualification there were no government pupil posts being offered.

Aspiring advocates currently spend one year in pupillage (formerly only six months) before being admitted to the bar in their respective provincial or judicial jurisdictions.
