This autumn we shall be piloting the articled teacher scheme, in which more than four fifths of the training course will take place in schools.
Barristers and solicitors together with barristers' clerks and assistants, solicitors' articled clerks and legal executives employed by solicitors are all ineligible for jury service.
They are cases rather of the young professional man who is articled to a solicitor or another professional man.
They will be able to discuss with him the possibility of having his assistants articled to him.
He may have been an articled clerk, but he cannot become a solicitor.
There are at present 403 students being trained on the articled teachers scheme.
That situation does not exist today, and articled clerks earn enough to pay tax.
My father paid £80 in stamp duty and £200 to the person who articled me.
