We will assess your application (form and interview) using a points-based system, assessing against each of the scholarship criteria.
Application form and interview performance is assessed separately.
All application forms are marked, independently, by 2 markers, who score the 4 criteria assessed on application form content.
Candidates are then shortlisted is based these scores.
The Inn also remains committed to contextual recruitment, ensuring achievements are assessed in the context in which they were attained; accordingly, contextual data and mitigating circumstances are an important part of the shortlisting process.
Interviews are conducted by panels of at least 3 members of Inner Temple. The panels score the 4 criteria which are assessed at interview (Advocacy Potential, Interpersonal Skills, Motivation & Resilience and Legal Analysis & Reasoning).
Interview panels do not have access to application forms and are not informed on the scores awarded for the application assessment.
After the interviews have concluded, a final score is calculated, averaging your application and interview assessment scores, for each criterion.
