In Britain, if you want to qualify as a lawyer, you must go through four stages:
(1) Enter any English law school;
(2) Attend college dinners;
(3) take the exam;
The British Bar Qualification Examination is organized and implemented by the Legal Education Committee entrusted by the four major law schools. The whole examination is divided into two parts: the basic legal stage and the occupational suitability stage.
If you pass the exam, your college will formally grant you the qualification as a lawyer.
After obtaining the qualification of barrister, you must practice as a barrister in a special law firm 1 year, under the guidance of experienced barristers. In the first six months, the trainee professional lawyer can't accept the entrustment of the client to handle the lawyer business, and can only handle the lawyer business from the seventh month.
Royal lawyers are the elite of British lawyers. Compared with the royal lawyers, other barristers are called solicitors.
Royal lawyer is also the title of senior barrister in Commonwealth countries headed by the King of England. Twice a year, the British royal family has the opportunity to award the title of Royal Counsel (or Queen's Counsel) to senior barristers from Commonwealth countries.
