Legal Executives: Education, Training and Professionalisation

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of the educational routes and professionalisation strategies of Chartered Legal Executives within England and Wales. It is a profession of fully-qualified lawyers undertaking similar work to solicitors, holding an increasing set of formal legal rights and responsibilities, but nonetheless characterised by a para-professional history, class and gendered disadvantages and, perhaps most fundamentally, a non-graduate vocational route of education and qualification.
