solicitor of the supreme court of england and wales admitted to the Supreme Court of England and Wales Explanation: The procedure is "admission". The roll of solicitors is a list of all solicitors of the Supreme Court. The roll is governed by the Solicitors Act 1974, and a person cannot be admitted as a solicitor unless he or she has obtained a certificate from the Law Society stating that the person has complied with the training regulations and that the Society is satisfied as to the person’s character and suitability to become a solicitor. Once a certificate is obtained, an application is made to the master of the rolls to be admitted as a solicitor. www.lawsociety.org.uk/becomingasolicitor/admissionroll.law The process is the following: Once you have either a law, law combined degree or the Common Professional Examination in law (CPE) or Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), the next stage is to study for the Bar, or become a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales. If you wish to become a Solicitor, you must also complete the academic stage of training by passing the Legal Practice Course (the "LPC"). Once you have successfully completed the LPC, you must undertake a two year Training Contract (formerly known as "Articles") before you can be admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court. Various firms of Solicitors across the country offer Training Contracts, which are effectively apprenticeships. In the two year period it is a requirement that there is training in at least four different departments. During the two year period, there are also a series of courses to attend and short examinations to pass. These include accounting and further development of legal skills. When you have achieved this you will be admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court. www.collasday.com/collas-day_qualify.asp |
