Essentially in England we have two main classes of lawyer; a Barrister and a Solicitor (though the term is still predominantly used for solicitors). A very basic distinction between the two is that in day to day life a person would have far more contact with a solicitor and can plod through life without ever needing a barrister as a Solicitor sorts out all that is required; wills, divorces, housing extensions etc. A barrister offers far more specialised advice (i.e. expensive) and is geneally the go-to person to appear in court should a case reach that stage (the stereotypical english law person is a barrister with the whole wig and gown ensemble). So my BA is Bachelor of Arts the LL.B is a law degree the esq. is a term which is traditionally only applied to those who have passed the Bar. So right now i can call myself a barrister but still have to complete a year of professional training before I can actually practice as a barrister, unfortunatly competition for that is immense and so i currently have no idea if/when I will be able to commence it so, yep Barbu, I am currently looking for an interim job.

So a trial lawyer as opposed to someone who can do legal work for you such as documents and advice.. cool.. congrats..
You need to get a Duke in front of your name and a 3rd or 5th after to make it sound even more pretentious. Duke Barrister BCLG100 BA (hons) LL.B. (hons) esq. III

We do still do advices however these are more aimed towards the professional clients (solicitors) who then disassemble it and present it to the actual lay client. (I.e. just show them the conclusion rather than the hours of painstaking legal research).

You should change your nickname to BALLB100. On a more serious note, considering your title, is it fair to assume you don't have a masters degree, or is the LLB what would be a master of arts (I'd usually call it master of ass, but this still is a serious note) over here on the good side of the channel?

Do you have your wig yet? Or do you plan to grow your hair for it?
