3PB celebrates success of its first six-month student placement

2nd May 2025

As part of her degree, Sophie Rogers (pictured here) - a third-year LLB Law student at the University of Winchester - has just finished a six-month placement with 3PB's Crime and Regulatory Crime team in their Winchester office. This is the first such placement run by 3PB (3 Paper Buildings) and may well be one of the very first such initiatives run by a barristers chambers in the UK.

Jodie Mittell KCJodie Mittell KCCall: 2004Silk: 2025, who co-heads 3PB's 30-strong team of Crime and Regulatory Crime barristers said: "3PB is delighted with the success of this placement. We thoroughly enjoyed having Sophie with us and she proved to be an excellent placement student. We are very hopeful that there will be other student placement schemes we can organise with universities in the coming years."

Sophie said: "I spent six months gaining fantastic experience including shadowing in the Court of Appeal, attending prison cells and drafting legal documents and advice. Members of chambers have been wonderful, and very generous giving me their time to further understand what life at the bar is like. A special thank you Jodie Mittell KC and Stuart Pringle for all your hard work in this."
