المحامين المتدربين
Arabic to English
Law/Patents
Law (general)
This is referring to Palestinian lawyers undergoing training (and apparently preparing for the bar exam as well, so I'm not sure if they're technically lawyers yet). Does anyone know if there's a set phrase for this, something more specific than 'trainee lawyers'? Thanks,
Khalid

Trainee lawyers
Trainee lawyers complain of low pay and long hours
BY FRANCES GIBB, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT
MANY trainee lawyers are hard-up and disillusioned and believe that they are in the wrong job, according to a survey published today.
The survey of 200 trainees in solicitors' firms for Lawyer magazine shows that 39 per cent would like to leave the legal profession.
Many students were drawn to the law by the prospect of earning a fortune, the survey found. Instead, competition for the most lucrative training contracts in commercial firms is so intense that they are most likely to end up in small High Street practices earning a fraction of what they expected.
The widespread disillusionment over pay and working conditions revealed in the survey, conducted for Lawyer magazine, is in stark contrast to the perceptions of students.
One trainee on £10,850 a year said: "I was earning more money per hour washing dishes in a hospital kitchen than I do as a trainee."
That salary is the Law Society recommended minimum wage for a trainee but the survey found many students earning much less. Many trainees were also working up to 65 hours a week and complained that the work was boring and unfulfilling.
Mary Heaney, editor of Lawyer, said: "Many trainees told us they only realised they didn't want to be a lawyer when they were well into their seventh year of academic and workplace training. However, they feel unable to throw away years of training only to be left with a mountain of debt and nothing to show for it."

Intern lawyers
I think that means "intern lawyers" وتعني المحامين تحت التدريب ممن يتلقون تدريبهم في بعض المحاكم أو مكاتب المحاماة الكبرى تمهيداً لدخولهم مهنة المحاماة كمحاميين مستقلين يعملون دون إشراف من كبار المحامين أو الجهات القضائية

In the United Kingdom, a trainee solicitor is a person who is in training to become a solicitor. If a person wishes to enter the legal profession as a solicitor, they will need to undertake a training contract for at least two years with a firm of solicitors accredited to provide the training. Before they can be eligible to undertake such a training contract, the person must have a degree in law (or have another degree and have completed a conversion course) and then have completed a Legal Practice Course. On successful completion of the training contract, the person generally will qualify, and be admitted, as a solicitor.
لكني أعتقد أن
Trainee solicitor
هي مرحلة متقدمة يشترط فيمن يود اجتيازها أن يكون حاصلاً على درجة أكاديمية في القانون بالإضافة إلى دورة تدريبية في ممارسة مهنة المحاماة كما هو مبين في الرابط المقدم
In conclusion, I think you can either keep the safe side and call them "trainee lawyers" as your text is not clear enough or to read through the lines to find out if they were "intern lawyers" or "trainee solicitors"..

Discussion
so it is referring to them preparing for the bar exam through these training courses, but I don't really have much more context, I'm afraid.
