I answered a question with...... what comic book have you been reading and was given a violation notice.. what violation is this...
A European lawyer works in Europe, whereas an International Lawyer works all around the globe (ie: you work for people in different countries)
A European Lawyer could mean: 1. A lawyer licensed to practice in a state within Europe 2. A lawyer licensed to practice in several states within the European Union (Fairly easy because of a European Union Directive on the point) 3. A lawyer who s practice is principally in the area of the Law of the European Union. An International Lawyer probably means a lawyer specialising in some area of International law. There are probably many routes to either specialism - it depends what route you want to take. Basically, if you want to be educated in the UK, you d take a law degree, possibly with quot;european studiesquot; or quot;studies in europequot; which means you study abroad for a year (making it 4 years instead of 3) After your degree you take the LPC or the BVC (depending on whether you want to be a barrister or a solicitor). Then you get a training contract or a pupillage with a firm that specialises in the area you want. At each stage you pick whatever options are available that you re particularly interested in, and try to get experience and make contacts with firms that are involved in your area. Salary depends very much what branch of the profession you re in and how experienced you are. Specialising in international or european union law would make it easier to get a job abroad, but there is still the language problem, and in my view you re best bet would be working for a firm of solicitors with offices abroad. Such firms tend to be magic circle commercial firms and are *very* hard to get into.
