'A solicitor is a man who calls in a person he doesn't know to sign a contract he hasn't seen to buy property he doesn't want with money he hasn't got.'
Attributed to: Dingwall Bateson (1898-1967), British lawyer
11.The legal training for solicitors (who provide general legal advice to clients) and barristers (who present cases in the upper courts) is different. The following short texts describe the stages in legal training, but they are mixed up. Put the steps into the correct category and order.
1 PRACTICE AND CONTINUING EDUCATION
The next stage is to obtain a 'tenancy': becoming an assistant to a practising barrister.
2 GETTING THE QUALIFICATIONS
The next step is to acquire some legal training specific to the work of a barrister.
3 DEVELOPING PRACTICAL SKILLS
Next the intending solicitor has to enter a two-year training contract with a firm of solicitors to gain practical experience in a variety of areas of law.
4 GETTING THE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE: PUPILLAGE
This is the 'apprenticeship' served by trainee barristers, who are known as pupils. It usually takes a year and consists of a mixture of assisting and observing experienced barristers, as well as more practical experience.
5 GETTING THE ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS
The quickest and most common route to qualification is by means of a qualifying law degree.
6 GETTING THE VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS
You will have to undertake the Legal Practice Course, which is the professional training for solicitors. The course teaches the practical application of the law to the needs of clients.
7 GETTING THE ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS
The first part of training to become a barrister is known as the academic stage, which provides a general theoretical introduction to the law.
