I would say that it is something that is best declared by you before they find out for themselves which they surely will. It's not the same as having a criminal conviction obviously which would probably bar you (pardon the pun) but it is still a record.
I suppose it would depend what the caution was for and how long ago it was incurred. A caution for a driving offence 4 years ago would be completely different to a caution for drug possession last year. It is also a highly competitive field that you are entering. I understand that of the 2000 persons on the BVC last year, only 500 were lucky enough to be considered for pupillages. If there are that many applying and only limited vacancies, they could consider a caution as a way of not selecting you.

Not theoretically - but after when you are doing the bar vocational course, and join one of the Inns of Court, you will need to provide referees to state that you are a fit and proper person - and you have to disclose previous offences. As long as you are honest a caution shouldn't go against you.

no, however the costs of courses after a degree may stop you. The bar exam cost around £10,000 to study for.
Then you have to find a company to take you open and train you up.
