In England and Wales it is not a legal requirement to study Law in order to call yourself a Solicitor. How can you possibly advise other people if you do not know the law yourself. In USA, you must have a Law degree in order to call yourself Attorney. I do not know of any other European country where a Solicitor has not studied Law. 90% of so-called solicitors in England and Wales are fraudsters and yet they get away with it. I have spent quite some time researching this matter and have come to the conclusion that this is the worst kind of fraud that anyone could find and yet it still goes on.

ok, well firstly LLB stands for Bachelor of Law, I'm currently on the course at uni so trust me!
secondly, while it might be true that you don't have to do and LLB to become a solicitor or barrister you do still have to study law. it means that you take a different degree at university and then spend more time at law school afterwards instead of doing the law degree and less time in law school before qualification.
If you would like to know more about the different routs into law try reading "The English Legal System" by Jacqueline Martin (4th Edition) as it can explain it in more depth for you if you want.
Hope this helps!

LLB = Legum Baccalaureus (bachelor of laws).
Where did you get your information from?
If you try to practice law as a solicitor without being a member of the Law Society you will find yourself in deep doo-doos.
You may be thinking of the people who write wills or do conveyancing and other very limited legal type tasks. They don't even have to have a law degree.

Bachelor of laws and letters.
In the US, a law degree is a graduate degree -- usually a JD (juris doctor). The JD is roughly equivalent to the LLM in the UK.
