Etymology of ARTICLING
The word "Articling" in the context of law refers to the period of practical training required by legal professionals in some jurisdictions. It originates from the term "articled clerk", which dates back to 18th-century England.
During that time, a legal apprentice or clerk would enter into a written contract known as "articles of clerkship" with a practicing lawyer or firm. The terms of this contract would outline the period of service, the duties and responsibilities of the apprentice, and the benefits they would receive in return.
The term "articled" comes from the word "article", which essentially means a written document or formal agreement. In this case, the articles referred to the legal apprenticeship agreement. Over time, the term "articled clerk" became commonly abbreviated to "articling", and it is still used in various countries, including Canada, to describe the period of practical training for aspiring lawyers.
