Following a call from the Gibraltar Bar Council to re develop the training scheme for barristers and solicitors wishing to practice law in Gibraltar, the Government has teamed up with the Bar Council and the Chief Justice to reveal new requirements that will see a balance in training between barristers and solicitors who currently undergo different training systems despite then carrying out the same type of work. Currently barristers are admitted and enrolled upon completion of the Bar Professional Training Course, whilst solicitors must undertake a further two-year training period after completing their Legal Practice Course.
