Entering Legal Profession in the UK
Almost all English universities have a faculty of English law. University professors, readers and
lecturers teach students. In most cases students receive the first degree in law on graduation from the
university: LLB degree - Bachelor of Laws. The higher degrees are LLM degree (Master of Laws)
and LLD degree (Doctor of Laws). As for these degrees, they require further studies, specialised
examinations and dissertations.
However, in Britain, unlike many other countries, it is not necessary to have a degree to become a
lawyer. But most people entering the profession have a degree in Law. The main requirement is to
pass final examinations (for both barristers and solicitors). If someone has
a university degree in a subject other than law, he / she needs to take a preparatory course.
Even after the examinations have been passed, a lawyer is not necessarily qualified. A solicitor
then spends two years as a trainee solicitor. During this time, his / her work is supervised by an
experienced lawyer, and he / she must take further courses.
A barrister must spend a similar year as a pupil.
