Lawyers at work.Summary


In different countries groups of lawyers are different: in Japan people can take an exam and become attorneys, public prosecutors or judges, while in England people can choose to become barristers, i.e. to work directly in a court, or solicitors – to prepare documents and cases for the court.

The type of work in different professions is different: from working conditions to the payment. Special groups of lawyers can work without or with a little payment.
In order to enter the profession people have to prepare: get a university degree in law, pass the Bar Final examination or the Law Society Final examination and, after graduation, people have to gain some experience: work as an articled clerk or a pupil and be supervised by an experienced lawyer.

After a lawyer gets a certificate, a person is still under control; lawyer is supervised by the Law Society or Solicitor’s Disciplinary Tribunal. During the work lawyers follow ethics and keep all conversations in secret.

Lawyers use a specific language which is known as legalese. Legalese can be only understood by the lawyers. Lawyers are trying to make the language more modern and understandable to the society. Pace of modernizing legal language is very slow.
