Abstract
The introduction of the solicitor apprenticeship in England and Wales has reintroduced the work-based learning model to train and qualify as a lawyer. This is placing the responsibility with the employer for providing the apprentice with the practical experience and day-to day knowledge needed to practise law. For the apprentice this is a personal journey. It is an inter-dependent relationship between the apprentice and principal who will be providing the necessary guidance and instruction. It is within this framework that the apprentice will develop their professional identify and the rules of professional conduct. They will need to question and make sense of their experiences whilst interacting within their community of practice. This paper draws upon the experiences of solicitor apprentices and how they are developing their role, their values and professional identity.
