Template:Legal system/Lawyers

Jersey has two types of lawyer, Advocates and Solicitors. They perform fairly similar functions, but only Advocates have the right to be heard before all the island's courts. Originally there were only eight Advocates, appointed by the Royal Court, but today their numbers are not limited providing they have obtained the necessary qualifications. There are many legal practices in the island, some purely local and others part of international groups employing hundreds of staff in Jersey.
