The British lawyer system means that the British lawyer system always retains many feudal traditions and has a strict hierarchy. Lawyers are divided into junior lawyers (Solici? Tor, or a lawyer who translates the complaint) and a lawyer who appears in court, or a lawyer who translates in court.
Junior lawyers directly undertake general legal business such as property transfer, will, contract signing or company formation, provide legal advice and draft legal documents; They can only appear in the basic courts, that is, the magistrate's court or the county court. Senior lawyers do not have direct contact with the parties, and junior lawyers apply for defense in criminal courts, high courts or appeal courts on behalf of the parties.
Senior lawyers can also apply to become royal barristers, awarded by the king of England, enjoying the highest status and certain privileges in the court. British lawyers' organizations have a strong atmosphere of medieval guilds. The Senior Bar Council, the Junior Bar Association and the four law schools in London (Lincoln, Inner Temple, Middle Temple and Gray Law School) basically control the training of lawyers, the awarding of professional titles and industry discipline.
