What does the work of a Personal Injury Solicitor involve?
A Solicitor is not the only person who can provide legal advice. Legal help may be available from advice centres, such as the Citizens Advice Bureaux and law centres You may act for yourself in court proceedings or, if you are acting for yourself, you may have a friend or lay representative to assist you in court. If you need a Solicitor you should choose one who has experience in the appropriate area of law.
A local advice agency such as a law centre or Citizens Advice Bureau, should be able to recommend a local solicitor who is experienced in the appropriate area of law or will be able to provide information on how to find a suitable solicitor. In some cases, a CAB can refer you to an organisation that can offer free legal help or assistance. You can also find details of solicitors on the Law Society website. If you are at a police station, or have been charged with an imprisonable offence, you can obtain free legal advice under the duty solicitors’ scheme. If you are at the magistrates or youth court, the arrangements for providing the solicitor will vary. When you have chosen your solicitor, you will need to make an appointment. This will usually be within five working days. If the matter is urgent the solicitor should try and arrange an earlier appointment.
You should take all relevant documents to the appointment and it may be helpful to prepare a list of questions for the solicitor in advance. For some cases a solicitor will require identification from you before they can act. This applies, for example, to transactions involving more than £10,000, such as a house purchase. Identification can include a current passport, driving license or benefit book. A recent utilities bill will also have to be provided. If you do not have this sort of identification you should check with the solicitor how best to prove your identity.
The Law Society has also produced a document called The Client's Charter, which tells you what you can expect from your solicitor and what to do if you want to make a complaint. Your solicitor does not have to give you a copy of this charter, but it is considered good practice for them to do so. What qualifications and experience will employers look for?
In England and Wales, you can meet the academic standards in one of the following three ways:
Once you have met the academic standards you must then pass the Legal Practice Course (LPC), which can be one year full-time or two years part-time. See the Law Society’s website for more information, including details of approved law degrees, CPE/GDL and LPC courses. See the Training and Development section below for details about vocational training contracts.
