Apointment of Judges (Uk)
In the UK legal system their are two types of lawyers; solicitor and barrister,after a certain amount of years of experience if you want to you can apply to become a judge, if accepted you start from the bottom of the heirachy system and eventually as you gain more years of experience you get higher in the ranking.
Keywords: UK, solicitors, barristers, judiciary, prosecutors, high court, superior and inferior judges, bar examinations.
In this project we will look at how the two types of lawyers in the uk are appointed what kinds of legal education they have to go throught, if they have to do bar examinations and overall how many years it would take them to be a fully qualifed solicitor or barrister, then we will look at judiciary appointments and see the process of this and the differences of superior and inferior judges.
To become a fully qualified solicitor you have to go through a few steps, but first we need to understand what a solicitor does. A solicitor: * Gives legal advice * Represents clients in the court * Administrative work for the case (evidence,documents, interact more with clients)
To become a solicitor the first step is have a law degree if you have a undergraduate degree you must go through a CPA for one year or also known as Common Proffesional Exam, once you have completd this you must attend the Legal Practice Course (LPC), this is a one year course that gives you the skills neccessary for the profeesion e.g drafting documents, how to interview clients, how to keep client accounts seperate. After this is completed you have to do two years traning (apprentice) so bascially you work under the supervision of a qualified solicitor, once this is finished you are a fully qualified solicitor which now has a better advantage than before. Until 1990 solicitors could only represent clients in the magistrates court and county courts, if on appeal the case would go to a high court the solicitor would have to pass the case to a barrister
