Department. In this capacity he has overall responsibility for the court
system, including the Supreme Court (comprising the Court of Appeal,
High Court and Crown Court) and the county courts in England and
Wales. He has responsibility for the civil justice process, for promoting
general reforms in the civil law and for the legal aid schemes.
The Home Secretary has overall responsibility for criminal law,
the police service, the probation and after-care service, and for advising
the Crown on the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy.
The Attorney General and the Solicitor General are the Gov-
ernment's principal legal advisers, providing advice on a range of legal
matters, including proposed legislation. As well as exercising various
civil law functions, the Attorney General has final responsibility for
enforcing the criminal law. The Solicitor General is the Attorney's dep-
uty.
Some administrative functions are performed by senior members
of the judiciary: the Lord Chief Justice, for example, who is head of
the Queen's Bench Division ranking second only to the Lord Chancellor
in the judicial hierarchy, has some responsibilities for the organisation
and work of the criminal courts.
My future profession
I am a third-year student of the State University Law Department.
When I entered the University I had a vague idea of what I should do in
future. Having studied a lot of legal subjects, such as Theory of Law,
State and Law, Criminal and Public Law I could outline the profession
I'm engaged in. Now it is obvious to everyone, that in a community
such as the one in which we live, some kind of law is necessary because
every day of our lives we are restrained and guided by law. It protects
us while it restricts us. Sometimes it punishes us.
Law can also be defined as a standard of conduct, which regu-
lates the relation of the individual to the central government, the relation
of the government to the individual, and the relations among the indi-
viduals. If there is a conflict in these relations, the law also provides an
institution, the court system, through which the respective sides can liti-
gate a problem and reach a solution. So, the scope of the law necessarily
makes it complex, and complexity has created the need for specialists,
namely a lawyer, whose work is quite diversified. He may act as the

defence counsel in court, he may represent the interests of the plaintiff,
the defendant or of third parties in civil criminal cases. The rate at
which the legal profession is growing will probably continue. Why is
the career in law so popular?
Of course, because of the prestige and salary. The average salary
of an Experienced lawyer is still substantially greater than that of many
other professionals. But that work isn't so interesting as it may seem. In
national economy lawyers are entrusted the control on the legality of
orders and instructions issued by governing body: they participate in
drawing up different agreements and contracts, which are concluded
with other enterprises; lawyers also inform workers on the current legis-
lation and give help in legal matters, conduct their cases in courts. In
addition to this professional group there are nonprofessional legal coun-
sellors who give advice on various legal problems and are often em-
ployed by business firms. In almost all civil-law countries there are no-
taries, who have exclusive rights to deal with such office work as mar-
riage settlements and wills.
All lawyers in our country are incorporated either in the national
or regional (territorial) bar. Members of the bar work at legal advisory
offices, which function in every town administrative district. „That's
