    Used to be. In my day we were "solicitor's apprentices". I think the official terminology has now changed so nowadays they are trainee solicitors, but the older term is still in common colloquial use.

    Those were the days.

    Started off writing memorials for Registry of Deeds in indian ink, then going around to the various public offices, and attending counsel in court.

    Traditionally in the West if going out with a solicitor to witness a will, the apprentice got the fee for the will. Once only, for first will.

    A lot depended on how seriously one's Master took his obligations. Mine did.

    No pay of course, but we were happy.......................
