ARTICLED Meaning and Definition

1. "Articled" is an adjective that refers to someone who has entered into a legal agreement known as an article of clerkship or articles of apprenticeship, typically in the field of law. This agreement allows an individual, known as the articled clerk, apprentice, or trainee, to receive practical training and work experience under the supervision and guidance of a qualified professional, such as a lawyer or solicitor.

   The term "articled" originated in the 18th century, with its roots in the practice of providing aspiring lawyers with formal training through a system of indentured servitude. During the period of their articles, the trainee is bound by a formal contract to their employer or "master," which outlines various terms and conditions, including the duration of the apprenticeship, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties. These articles are designed to ensure that the trainee receives comprehensive education and training in legal matters, becoming equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to practice law effectively.

   By being articled, individuals gain practical exposure to the legal profession, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge learned during their academic studies to real-life cases and legal situations. At the conclusion of the articled period, which typically lasts for a specific number of years, the trainee may become eligible for admission to a professional body or licensing authority, allowing them to practice law independently and be known as qualified legal professionals.

Etymology of ARTICLED

The word "articled" has its roots in the noun "article", which is derived from the Latin word "articulus". In Latin, "articulus" referred to a small part or a section, and this meaning has carried over into English. "Article" originally entered the English language in the 14th century and was initially used to describe a distinct part of a written document such as a contract, treaty, or statute.

The term "articled" specifically refers to the act of entering into, or being bound by, an apprenticeship or an indenture. An indenture was a legal contract that bound a person to serve as an apprentice to a skilled professional or to work as an employee for a specific period. In the 19th century, individuals who were undertaking apprenticeships or serving as clerks were referred to as "articled clerks" or simply "articled".
