ILEX: Introduction to Legal Practice

The work of the qualified legal executive is increasingly recognized to be of fundamental importance in the efficient management of a solicitor's practice. Published in association with the Institute of Legal Executives, "Introduction to Legal Practice" is the prescribed text for the practice and procedure aspects of the syllabus for the Institute's Part 1 examination. The book introduces the legal profession, describing and explaining much of the day-to-day work of a solicitor's office. Fictional case studies illustrate common transactions in conveyancing, criminal and civil procedure. This edition has been thoroughly revised. The sections on conveyancing and County Court proceedings in particular have been extensively updated to take account of significant changes in these areas. The practical aspects of work in a solicitor's office as experienced at trainee level are kept constantly in view. Forms and precedents are included.
