Legal Professions

Types of Legal Professions in Great Britain

Solicitors

There are about 50,000 solicitors, a number which is rapidly increasing, and they make up by far the largest branch of the legal profession in England and Wales. They are found in every town, where they deal with all the day-to­day work of preparing legal documents for buying and selling houses, making wills, etc. Solicitors also work on court cases for their clients, prepare cases for barristers to present in the higher courts, and may represent their client in a Magistrates’ court.

Barristers

There are about 5,000 barristers who defend or prosecute in the higher courts. Although solicitors and barristers work together on cases, barristers specialize in representing clients in court and the training and career structure-for the two types of lawyer are quite separate. In court, barristers wear wigs and gowns in keeping with the extreme formality of the proceedings. The highest level of barristers has the title QC (Queen’s Counsel).

Judges

There are a few hundred judges, trained as barristers, who preside in more serious cases. There is no separate training for judges.

Jury

A jury consist of twelve people (“jurors”), who are ordinary people chosen at random from the Electoral Register (the list of people who can vote in elections). The jury listen to the evidence given in court in certain criminal cases and decide whether the defendant is guilty or innocent. If the person is found guilty, the punishment is passed by the presiding judge. Juries are rarely used in civil cases.

Magistrates

There are about 30,000 magistrates (Justices of the Peace or JPs), who judge cases in the lower courts. They are usually unpaid and have no formal legal qualifications, but they are respectable people who are given some training.

Coroners

Coroners have medical or legal training (or both), and inquire into violent or unnatural deaths.

Clerks of the Court

Clerks look after administrative and legal matters in the courtroom.

The Profession of a Lawyer

I am a future lawyer. I’d like to work as a detective. As to my friend Alex he is going to work as an investigator. Our graduates work in all police services.

Before entering the Law Institute some students worked in police, so they know this work. Some of my Institute-mates came here after serving in the Army. They have also chosen the work in police. We all consider this work to be necessary and important while crime exists in our country.

The principal task of our police is to fight crime. And one of the main duties of police officers is to prevent crime. But if a crime has been committed the police officers should do all they can to detect the offender; it means to locate and apprehend him.

We know that quick and accurate solution of a crime greatly de­pends on the professional skills of the investigating officers, on their training. That is why we try to master a special course of Detective Ac­tivity, various branches of Law, Criminalistics, Crime Psychology and many other special subjects. Nobody can say what crime you will have to face tomorrow, so the police officers should be educated persons. It is not so easy to investigate crimes, it is difficult to trace and locate criminals. We must know how to interview witnesses, interrogate crimi­nals; we learn all that at our Institute.

Very often the solution of a crime is in the crime scene. When the investigator arrives at the crime scene he examines the scene very care­fully. He makes a plan of the investigation. All the evidence in the crime scene must be found, collected and preserved for court presenta­tion.

The effectiveness of an investigator largely depends upon his ability to obtain information. The elements of the offence must be established. Identification must be obtained. The investigator works in close coop­eration with other officers of the operative group.

The officer of the Criminal Detection Department (a detective) is responsible for the detection of the perpetrator. A great part of detective work is devoted to “finding” missing or wanted person. The search for a person may be a simple matter, but in many cases, however, it may be­come a complicated task. The solving of a case frequently depends upon locating the perpetrator. The proper presentation of a case in court in­volves the discovery and identification of witnesses. The detective also takes measures for search, discovery and seizure of the stolen property and instruments of the crime.

There are some people in our society who don't want to live an honest life, who try to profit at the expense of our state. The task of an officer of Economic Crimes Department is to reveal the criminal activity of such people and to provide their punishment.

Some of us will work as divisional inspectors. The divisional in­spectors are responsible for maintaining public order in their areas.

Our future work whatever it would be is noble and necessary. Our objective is to protect life and property of our people.

SMUGGLING

Smuggling and Detecting Contraband

Smuggled goods can enter the country together with passengers, cargo or with a means of conveyance.

The unlawful bringing in or taking out of the country of forbidden or restricted articles, such as: currency, bonds, jewelleries, precious metals and stones, antiques, explosives, drugs, weapons, firearms and ammunition, is considered contraband.

If Customs officer has a reason to believe that the person is carrying about himself objects liable to confiscation he can search a person.

The search can be made only with a permit of the Customs Officer Chief and carried out in the presence of two witnesses.

People of different social standing try to smuggle because they don’t want to pay Customs duties and hope to make a bit of money in this way.

A person who is found guilty of smuggling may be punished by a fine or taken to court. Smuggled articles are confiscated.

Places of Concealment

The classical places of drug concealment are double bottoms, empty spaces and recesses in transport vehicles, and concealment of drugs in the rest of the cargo. Postal packages can be also used for smuggling drugs.

Some of the new drug concealment methods are: heroin transported in granulated form, specially packed drugs carried in bottles of champagne, shoes, exotic fruit, pastry. Smugglers also transport drugs in cavities in their own body.

Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, some African countries as well as the Golden Triangle and the Golden Crescent areas are notorious for drug production and smuggling. The Golden Triangle comprises Burma, Laos and Thailand. The Golden Crescent of Southwest Asia includes parts of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Customs officers carry out random control based on the passengers’ behav­iour, starting point, itinerary, nature and composition of his/her luggage, passport data, etc.

To prevent the traffic of smuggling Customs officers should more often use specially trained dogs and new sophisticated equipment. Special attention should be also paid to continuous training of Customs officers.
