pupilage
Learning under supervision
Pupilage is the state or period of being a pupil—that is, a student under instruction.
In British legal contexts, it specifically refers to the training period an aspiring barrister must complete under the supervision of an experienced barrister before being allowed to practice independently.
This apprenticeship typically lasts one year and is divided into two six-month segments.
The spelling pupillage, with the double l, is also common, particularly in British usage.
