BARRISTERS AND SOLICITORS
1. Most barristers are professional advocates earning their living by the presentation of civil and criminal cases in court. A barrister must be capable of prosecuting in a criminal case one day, and defending an accused person the next, or of preparing the pleadings and taking the case for a plaintiff in a civil action one day, and doing the same for a defendant the next. Barristers are ex-perts in the interpretation of the law. They are called in to advise on really dif-ficult points.
2. A would-be barrister must first register as a student member of one of the four Inns of Court. A student must pass a group of examinations to obtain a law degree and then proceed to a vocational course, the passing of which will result his being called to the Bar.
