A solicitor or duty solicitor is the person who presents your case to the court. You may be entitled to representation by a duty solicitor if you do not have your own solicitor.
In most common law countries the legal profession is split between: solicitors who represent and advise clients, and a barrister who is retained by a solicitor to advocate in a legal hearing or to render a legal opinion.
Qualifications:
Solicitors study a one year course called the Legal Practice Course and then must undertake two years apprenticeship with a solicitor, called the training contract (but still widely referred to as ‘articles’ as in ‘articled clerk’ by older members of the profession). Once that is complete, the student becomes a solicitor and is ‘admitted to the roll’.
The Solicitor is the legal advisor to the Commissioners and attorney for the County and its officials. The office draws up contracts and assures a legal basis for all County governmental functions.
Role:
In cases where a trial is necessary a client must retain a solicitor, who will advise him or her and then may deliver a brief to a barrister to act on the solicitor’s instructions.
