Trainee solicitor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the United Kingdom, a trainee solicitor is a person who is in training to become a solicitor. If a person wishes to enter the legal profession as a solicitor, they will need to undertake a training contract for at least two years with a firm of solicitors accredited to provide the training. Before they can be eligible to undertake such a training contract, the person must have a degree in law (or have another degree and have completed a conversion course) and then have completed a Legal Practice Course. On successful completion of the training contract, the person generally will qualify, and be admitted, as a solicitor.
