What is a Solicitor Advocate?

A solicitor advocate is, in basic terms, someone who is fully qualified as a solicitor but has gained the same rights of audience as a barrister by obtaining an extra qualification. This allows them to represent their clients in the following courts:

The High Court
The Crown Court
Court of Appeal
The Supreme Court

These are courts in which a barrister would usually be instructed by a solicitor to advocate for their cases. Therefore, the role of a solicitor-advocate is one that neatly brings together the role of a solicitor and a barrister allowing said individual to represent their client in totality the whole way through their case. This consistency is often highlighted as one of the main benefits of obtaining this extra qualification. Solicitor advocates tend to be specialized in litigation in either criminal or civil matters.

How to Become a Solicitor Advocate

To become a solicitor advocate, solicitors are required to obtain a Higher Rights of Audience qualification. This can be civil or criminal focused. If you want to be able to exercise higher rights of audience in both branches, then you will have to carry out two different assessments. These courses usually take a few days and are split into evidence & litigation and advocacy.

Generally, these courses include a written assessment and a practical assessment – including both oral assessments and an advocacy test. Whilst most providers highlight that you do not need any formal training in advocacy to undergo the assessments, these providers also offer such training and highly recommend undertaking it before you attempt the assessments to ensure success.

Solicitor Advocate Courses

In order to obtain your qualification in Higher Rights of Audience, you will have to undergo an assessment by a provider accepted as accredited to do so by the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

ANIMATION CREATION

Animation World: You don’t have to be a cartoonist to have animation be a big part of your life. Animation is everywhere in our homes, schools, work, and everywhere there’s a screen. And if you grew up in the modern country, chances are you’ve witnessed seminal accomplishments in animation history without even knowing it. These works marked important milestones in animation , an art form that continuously challenges its creators to push technology so that anything that can be imagined can also be brought to life.
