Russia's legal profession: at a crossroads or a dead end?
For the second time in the past 150 years, Russia has more lawyers than it needs. The number of young people who are studying law has increased approximately 20-fold over the past decade. Meanwhile the number of law schools has grown from 52 in the Soviet period to 1,000 now, of 1,500 including branches. Over 800,000 young people are studying law, even though the number of practicing lawyers ranges in Russia between 55,000 and 60,000.
Paradoxically, there are a lack of skilled lawyers in the Russian market, despite the huge number of law school graduates, and despite the fact that the law boom is propelled by a desire to correspond to global standards, something which is vital in order for Russia to become a full-fledged player on the global market.
“It took us 17 years to join the WTO, but we have managed to train only a few dozen skilled legal professionals, although we actually need hundreds more lawyers to protect the interests of the country and individual companies,” said Sergei Katyrin, President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
This view is not shared by Igor Manylov, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Lawyers of Russia, who believes that there is no “overproduction crisis” in the legal profession. He admits, however, that there are problems with the quality of legal education.
Legal market outlook
Gleb Lebedev, Market Research Manager at Headhunter Group, spoke with RIA Novosti about the current market trends for law school students and graduates.
“The number of lawyer vacancies has grown by 50% over the past three years, and the process was much more active in 2012 than in the two preceding years. This shows that the demand for legal professionals will be high in the first half of 2013,” Lebedev said. “Over the past three months, there were 11,858 open vacancies in the legal profession, with approximately 80 applicants per place.”
Lebedev pointed to low demand and high competition in the legal sphere, which allows employers to choose the best of the best.
“We have a tool to measure the ratio of resumes to the number of open vacancies – the hh.index. The rating for the legal profession is 9.1, which is high. It is nearly two times higher than the market average at this moment,” Lebedev said. “The rating is even higher for the heads of law departments – 15.1, approximately 15 people per vacancy.”
New trends on the market
There are reasons to expect a growing demand for specialty lawyers, and hence legal Jacks-of-all-trades should consider specializing if they want to make a career.
Experts forecast a growing demand for corporate lawyers, including tax and real estate specialists.
Lawyers’ salaries will continue to grow, they predict.
A growing number of paying students
Meanwhile, the government decided to reduce enrollment in federally funded law schools: the number of places open for students at humanities (including law) schools was cut by 39% in 2011. It was announced on November 9, 2012, that the Ministry of Education and Science would cut admission to budget-funded law schools by 30,000 spots in 2013.
At the same time, more young people are paying for their studies. Education Minister Andrei Fursenko said that law schools lost 12,000 federally funded spots in 2004-2009, while the number of law students paying for their education increased by 102,000.
However, paid education does not mean higher quality. Moreover, there are very many young people with inadequate general education who are willing to pay for a higher education, which is bolstering corruption at universities.
It is unclear how a reduction in the number of federally funded faculties can help resolve one of Russia’s biggest problems: the lack of competent lawyers who can work efficiently amid rapidly changing economic conditions. Nothing has been said about ensuring requisite standards at each level of legal education (Bachelors, Masters, post-graduate, and PhD studies). Meanwhile, the inability to correspond to the form and essence of the standards is one of the main obstacles hindering the participation of Russian professionals in international projects.

Solicitors and Barristers
England is almost unique in having two different kinds of lawyers, with separate jobs in the legal system. The two kinds of lawyer are solicitors and barristers.
If a person has a legal problem, he will go and see a solicitor. Almost every town will have at least one. In fact there are at least 50,000 solicitors in Britain, and the number is increasing.
Many problems are dealt with exclusively by a solicitor. For instance, the solicitor deals with petty crimes and some matrimonial matters in Magistrates' Courts, the lowest Courts. He prepares the case and the evidence. He actually speaks in Court for you.
In a civil action he can speak in the County court, when the case is one of divorce or recovering some debts. In the County Court the solicitor wears a black gown over his ordinary clothes.
A solicitor also deals with matters outside Court. He does the legal work involved in buying a house, for instance. He writes legal letters for you and carries on legal arguments outside Court. If you want to make a will the best man to advise you is a solicitor.
To qualify as a solicitor, a young man or woman joins a solicitor as a "clerk" and works for him whilst studying part time for the "Law Society" exams. Interestingly enough, it is not necessary for you to go to university. When you have passed all the necessary exams, you can "practice", which means you can start a business on your own.
Barristers are different from solicitors. Barristers are experts in the interpretation of the Law. They are called in to advise on really difficult points. The barrister is also an expert on advocacy (the art of presenting cases in Court). Indeed, if you desire representation in any Court except the Magistrates' Court, you must have a barrister, with one or two exceptions.
Barristers are rather remote figures. If you need one, for instance, you never see him without your solicitor being with him. Barristers do not have public offices in any street. They work in what are known as chambers, often in London. They all belong to institutions called Inns of Court, which are ancient organizations rather like exclusive clubs. In many ways the remoteness they and the job they have do are medieval in conception.
To qualify as a barrister you have to take the examinations of the Bar Council. These are different from solicitors' examinations. There are over 5,000 barristers in England. A good one can earn 30,000 pounds a year. Only barristers can became judges in an English Court above a Magistrates' Court.
Barristers are also found in South Africa and New South Wales (Australia).
