The Attorneys and Solicitors Act, 1728 (2 Geo II, c 23) provided that attorneys and solicitors should serve five years as clerks under articles, that they should be examined as to their fitness to act, that they should take a prescribed oath and that their names should be entered on a roll. After 1843 (6 & 7 Vict, c 73) the period of articles was reduced to three years in the case of graduates of Oxford, Cambridge, Dublin, Durham or London universities. The same act also directed that on admission the attorneys' names should be enrolled in alphabetical order in rolls or books.
