Question 1
What are the three main careers in the legal profession?

The three main careers in the legal profession are attorneys, advocates, and paralegals.
Attorneys are the legal professionals who offer advice to clients, prepare legal
documents, and represent them in court. Advocates, on the other hand, specialize in
representing clients in higher courts and often work on complex legal cases. Paralegals
assist both attorneys and advocates by handling tasks such as research, document
preparation, and client interviews, though they are not licensed to practice law
independently.




Question 2
Which Act regulates the attorney’s and advocate’s profession?

The Legal Practice Act 28 of 2014 regulates both the attorney’s and advocate’s
profession in South Africa. This Act sets the framework for how legal practitioners
should conduct themselves, ensuring that they meet the required standards of
professionalism and ethics.




Question 3
Explain the main characteristics of a paralegal.
