BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS IN GREAT BRITAIN 1. The legal profession in England is divided into two main groups, barristers and solicitors. A popular definition of the distinction between solicitors and barristers is that barristers do the court work and solicitors do the office work. At present no solicitor, however experienced, may represent a client at a hearing in any of the higher courts. On the other hand, a barrister, however inexperienced, may represent clients in the House of Lords. Doubtless also, being a barrister still sounds a much more glamorous occupation than being a solicitor. 2. Being a solicitor does not simply involve acquiring a knowledge of the theory and practice of the law. It also requires high standards of conduct and an onerous obligation to the courts. 3. Many barristers, especially junior barristers, spend much of their time on paperwork, giving opinions, drafting pleadings and other documents related to court proceedings, but also drafting contracts, trust deeds and other formal legal documents which are not immediately connected with litigation. 1 32 4. A person seeking to qualify as a solicitor can become a trainee solicitor after three years of university legal education and one extra year doing the legal practice course. As a trainee solicitor it is possible to obtain a paid position even before qualifying.
