There are two branches of the legal profession in Britain: solicitors and barristers.
The solicitor is a person who has either completed a law degree, or, If a non-law graduate, has completed the Common Professional Exami-nation, and undertaken a one year Legal Practice Course followed by two terms as a trainee solicitor. Then the person may be admitted a solicitor by having his or her name enrolled. Enrolled solicitors thereby become officers of the Supreme Court, and each receives a Certificate to Practise which is renewable annually. Solicitors are permitted to ad-vertise, on certain terms, properties for sale and to form partnerships with foreign firms.
Most solicitors are employed in private practice, others are employed in the public service, industry, and commerce.
Practising solicitors are consulted by, and receive instructions from, lay clients on a wide variety of matters both civil and criminal, e.g. the making of wills, administration of estates, family matters, the formation of companies, drawing up of documents, criminal offences of all kinds.
In cases of unusual difficulty the solicitor takes instructions from the cli-ent, prepares a brief and approaches a barrister (counsel) to give an
"opinion' or represent the client at the trial.
The relationship between solicitor and client is based on professional confidence, and a solicitor cannot be compelled to disclose in court communications made in a professional relationship.
