The World Wide Web is a wonderful way to discover world facts and figures but don’t believe everything you read.
An example of a major discrepancy is a paper I just read online from a prestigious US law school that tries to explain the differences between common law and civil law.
Leaving aside the fact that the two sometimes overlap a little in some countries the author goes on to say there are about 150 countries that operate under civil law and about 80 countries under common law.
Now this is a little weird as there are around 196 countries in the world and I make 150 plus 80 come to 230.
England is responsible for the common law system that goes back many hundreds of years and it is no surprise that other common law countries were in the main at some time part of the United Kingdom’s territories.
It is therefore no surprise that a solicitors Preston firm such as Acsols operates just as one in Portsmouth and is bound by the same rules and regulations. The same could be said for a firm of lawyers in Cardiff but not of course in Edinburgh where the law still has ties to Roman law or civil law.
No matter where you live it is likely that at some time or times in your life you will need the help of a solicitor. Buying and selling property is the most obvious example but litigation is also a growing business.
If you have a grievance with your neighbour or feel victimised at work then a chat with your local lawyer may reveal you have a strong case to sue. Every year there are plenty of people that are unfairly dismissed or victimised at work and many just take it without fighting back.
An added bonus is the relatively new concept of entering into a no win no fee agreement that means your lawyer is convinced you have a good case or he or she would never pursue it on your behalf.
