Barristers and Solicitors

1. Most barristers are professional advocates earning their
living by the presentation of civil and criminal cases in court. A
barrister must be capable of prosecuting in a criminal case one
day, and defending an accused person the next, or of preparing
the pleadings and taking the case for a plaintiff in a civil action
one day, and doing the same for a defendant the next. Barristers
are experts in the interpretation of the law. They are called in to
advise on really difficult points.

2. A would-be barrister1 must first register as a student
member of one of the four Inns of Court2. A student must pass a
group of examinations to obtain a law degree and then proceed to
a vocational course, the passing of which will result in his being
called to the Bar3.

3. All practising barristers are junior counsels unless they have
been designated Queen's Counsels (QC)4. QC is expected to appear
only in the most important cases.

4. If a person has a legal problem he will go and see a solicitor.
There is no end to the variety of matters which a solicitor deals
with. He does legal work involved in buying a house, he writes
legal letters for you and carries on legal arguments outside Court,
he prepares the case and the evidence. If you want to make a will
the best man to advise you is a solicitor.

 

5. In a civil action solicitors have a right to speak in the
County Court, when the case is one of divorce or recovering some
debts, and they deal with petty crimes and some matrimonial
matters in Magistrates Courts, the lowest Courts.

6. To become a solicitor a young man joins a solicitor as a
«clerk» and works for him while studying part time for the Law
Society5 exams. When you have passed all the necessary exams,
you may apply to the Law Society to be «admitted». After that
you can practise, which means you can start business on your
own.

1 would-be barrister — будущий барристер

2 Inns of Court — «Судебные инны» (четыре корпорации барристеров в Лондоне; пользуются исключительным правом приема в адвокатуру; в школах при этих корпорациях готовят барристеров; существуют с XIV в.)

3 to be called to the Bar— быть принятым в коллегию адвокатов

4 Queen's Counsel (QC) — королевский адвокат (высшее адвокатское звание)

5 Law Society— Общество юристов (профессиональный союз солиситоров)
