a proper standard of service to their clients. They must therefore make sure they stay up to date and are competent to practise in their particular field of work. To make sure they meet this requirement, solicitors are required to make an annual declaration that they’ve reflected on the quality of their work, and address any learning needs they identify through appropriate training and development. This is a broad outline of what you need to do to start your career as a trainee solicitor. For more details, visit www.sra.org.uk/students and www.sra.org.uk/trainees, where comprehensive student and trainee sections include the Authorisation of Individual Regulations in full, a list of training firms, organisations and institutions that provide academic and vocational courses, and more. If you need to talk to someone, call the SRA’s contact centre on 0370 606 2555 or email contactcentre@sra.org.uk.
