Question 1 of 10

You are a third six pupil in a criminal set. You have been doing Magistrates' Court trials for a particular firm of solicitors at the rate of about two a week. You have not been paid for any of them, despite an agreed brief fee of £200 per trial. You do not want to ask the clerks as you don't want to be troublesome. You speak to one of the junior tenants who explains to you that this particular firm "never pays juniors" and the clerks never bill for this work. However, the solicitors send all their big cases to chambers, and when you are senior enough you will be instructed in one of these and get paid for it.Is there anything wrong with this arrangement?
