Professional Course Requirements
It should be noted that a student
may not enter on a Professional
Course unless his/her indentures of
apprenticeship have been properly
executed following issue of the
Society's letter of consent.
Furthermore, the intending student
must have spent three months in a
solicitor's office before embarking
upon the course.
Payments to Apprentices
The Council of the Law Society has
recommended as a guideline that
apprentices should be paid £85.00 per
week gross for the three month period
spent in an office before they embark
on the Professional Course. For the
eighteen month period from the end
of the Professional Course to the
beginning of the Advanced Course,
the Council of the Law Society has
recommended the following salary
structures for apprentices:
first six months £105 per week gross,
second six months £115 per week
gross and
final six months £125.00 per week
gross.
Payment by the office of all or part
of the Professional or Advanced
Course fees may be taken into
account. In 1990, the Council of the
Law Society also recommended that
a newly-admitted solicitor should be
paid a salary of not less than
£10,000 to £11,000 per annum in
his or her first year of practice.
