legal executive

legal executive
qualified lawyers who are not solicitors or barristers, who have at least five years' experience of working under the supervision of a solicitor in legal practice or the legal department of a private company or in local/national government. They have to pass Institute of Legal Executives' (ILEX) qualifying examinations in their area of legal practice. Fellows are issued with an annual practising certificate of ILEX and may describe themselves as legal executives. They specialise in a particular area of legal work. Should they so wish, their qualifications and experience allow them entry to the final stages of the solicitor's qualification scheme – the Legal Practice Course (LPC) and the Professional Skills Course (PSC).
