| | SOLICITOR - LoveToKnow Article on SOLICITOR |
 | | Down to the i7th century the solicitor of the chancery courts was considered inferior to the attorney of the common law courts, but the rapid growth of equity jurisdiction gave the solicitor an importance in no degree inferior to his fellow practitioner at the common law. | | | Until 1873 it was usual for attorneys to be admitted as solicitors as well, but the Judicature Act of that year enacted that all persons admitted as solicitors, attorneys or proctors of an English court shall henceforth be called solicitors of the Supreme Court. | | | In the United States the term solicitor is used in some states in the sense of a law agent practising before a court of equity. |

| | Solicitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Before the unification of the Supreme Court in 1873, solicitors practised in the court of Chancery, while attorneys and proctors practised in the common law and ecclesiastical courts respectively. | | | Solicitors in England and Wales are regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales (which wears the hat of both regulator and union) and in order to become a solicitor must have had a qualifying legal education. | | | A solicitor is a type of lawyer in many common law jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Canada and some States of Australia but not the United States. |

| | Solicitor’s countersignature |
| | The solicitor is obliged to ascertain that, for example, the property forming the subject of the transaction exists; that the seller holds rights over it in conformance with the contract; that the buyer may obtain title to the property; and that the parties designated in the contract correspond to the signatories to the contract. | | | The essence of solicitor’s countersignature is therefore not that the solicitor also signs together with the parties, but that the signing solicitor has drafted the document and bears liability for its propriety and the authenticity of its form and content. | | | That is, the solicitor with his qualified electronic countersignature testifies that the electronic document which has the qualified electronic signature of the client on it is identical with the electronic document created by the solicitor. |
