Solicitor's articleship
Sanchit

This query is : Resolved
Hello Sir. I'm a 2nd year LL.B student, willing to take solicitor exam. I have some queries in same regard. Kindly help me with this.
1. How to get to know under which solicitor one should start doing articleship?
2. What if result of giving 3 years to articleship went in vain, I mean if I failed to clear the exam, then what?
3. I heard that soon solicitor practice shall be repealed, as it only prevails in Bombay and nowhere else, is it true? Shall I not go ahead with the decision of starting articleship? As I will complete law in 2018-19. So any chances of unfavorable changes? I mean if something like scrapping of exam or entire solicitor practice happened during articleship, then?
Please help me with this, Sir. I don't want to waste an year. And genuinely want to do solicitors.
Thanks.

To my knowledge, there is no distinction between an advocate and a solicitor in our country.
