You'll notice that this source didn't bother to put a date or any details to the purported creation of this British Accrediting Register or whatever it is called. No historical source is referenced for this. There are plenty of books on the history of the legal profession in England or in America and no such organization or institution is mentioned. Moreover, it is clear that the word "bar" to signify the legal profession was in use before the 16th century, and when it is used there is no indication that it is an acronym or that it ought to be in all-caps or with periods or anything like that. Scholars are unanimous that the bar really was a bar - a wooden railing or barricade that separated on-lookers from the "well" of the courtroom, and only the actual participants in the court process - the judge and the lawyers permitted to practice in that court - were admitted within the bar. Eventually the little architectural gesture was used to identify the profession itself. One more thing, something in the 16th century would more likely be called English than British. Although the monarch might elevate a lawyer to be a judge, it was the Inns of Court who decided who was and wasn't admitted to the legal profession, and there are some instances of the Inns refusing to recognize a monarch's "nominee" to the profession.

And because this is on a website, it must be true. I will have to shuffle through some of the evidence I have to show you are incorrect and the website globalcompetitionforum is either in error, or simply doing what lawyers do best in lying. I also posted to the Admin some information and a little excersize I challenge ANYONE here to do and find that you cannot get a HONEST answer from these thugs.
HTR
By the way... it is absolute nonsense that the planets rotate around the sun, they MUST rotate around the almighty Earth.... anyone saying different should be burned at the stake for such a horrible crime.
