Solicitors are regulated by the Law Society[?], barristers by the Incorporated Council of the Bar and the individual Inns of Court.
There are four Inns, all situated in the area of London close to the Law Courts in the Strand.
The Inns are a little like Oxford and Cambridge colleges, with common dining halls and libraries as well as living and working rooms: this facilitates the transition from public school to Oxbridge college to Inn.

 Barnard's Inn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three years later it was established as an Inn of Chancery - these were schools for law students before they passed on to an Inn of Court.
Barnard's Inn was badly damaged during the Gordon riots of 1780.
The Hall and other buildings were damaged and one of the officers of the Inn witnessed a "sturdy fellow" pumping up gin from the cellar which he proceeded to sell at a penny a mug to the thirsty onlookers of the fire.

 INQUEST - LoveToKnow Article on INQUEST   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The Kings Inns, Dublin, the legal school in Ireland, corresponds closely to the English Inns of Court, and is in many respects in unison with them in its regulations with regard to the admission of students into the society, and to the degree of barrister-at-law, as also in the scope of the examinations enforced.
The origin of the Kings Inns may be traced to the reign of Edward I., when a legal society designated Colletts Inn was established without the walls of the city; it was destroyed by an insurrectionary band, in the reign of Edward lii.
The Kings Inns do not provide chambers for btmsiness purposes; there is consequently no aggregation of counsel in certain localities, as is the case in London in the Inns of Court and their immediate vicinity.

 THE HONOURABLE SOCIETY OF THE INNER TEMPLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Unlike the inns of court, which secured between them a monopoly of licensing practitioners by calling them to the bar, the inns of chancery never achieved a similar power over their members, who from the late sixteenth century were almost exclusively solicitors and attorneys.
At this date it was common for the inns of chancery to act as initial training schools for barristers, who 'after they have made some progress here, and are more advanced in years' were admitted and called to the bar by the inns of court.
The sixteenth century saw the exclusion of attorneys and solicitors from the inns of court and the attachment of the inns of chancery to particular inns of court as dependent satellites.

 THE HONOURABLE SOCIETY OF THE INNER TEMPLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
It continues to be the inns of court and not the law courts who call suitably qualified practitioners to the bar, giving them the exclusive right of audience in the superior courts, and, it is the inns who, if necessary, disbar their members for professional misconduct.
Although the inns of court elected readers to lecture at the inns of chancery and monitored the activities of the subservient inns, they were permitted to maintain their own rules and customs, including their special festive days.
The archives of the inns of court, maintained by the archivists and librarians of the individual inns, consist principally of the minutes of each inn's council of benchers and its committees, membership records, the administrative records of the inn's officers and employees, and chapel or church records.

 LYONS INN
The Inn continued to be a landmark in that part of St Clement Danes throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, and by 1443 Hollowlane was also known as Lyonsinn lane.
Ownership of the Inn apparently belonged to Edmund West at his death in 1530, when the Inn and two adjoining gardens and cottages were taken into the king's hands and delivered to Sir Giles Alyngton, Kt, treasurer of the inn, and six others who were executors and relatives of West.
The inn was affiliated to the Inner Temple, and an attempt by the benchers of Middle Temple to have Lyons Inn transferred to them in 1561 failed after the Inner Temple appealed to Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester, to intervene with the queen.

 CHANCERY - Definition
In England, formerly, the highest court of judicature next to the Parliament, exercising jurisdiction at law, but chiefly in equity; but under the jurisdiction act of 1873 it became the chancery division of the High Court of Justice, and now exercises jurisdiction only in equity.
The courts of the United States also have jurisdiction both at law and in equity, and in all such cases they exercise their jurisdiction, as courts of law, or as courts of equity, as the subject of adjudication may require.
The allusion is to the condition of a person involved in the chancery court, where he was helpless, while the lawyers lived upon his estate.

 Barrister
Nonetheless, earnings can be high, with the top Queen's Counsel (QCs or 'silks' as they are known, from their silk gowns) making well in excess of £1 million a year.
Although not all barristers now practise from the Inns themselves (for reasons such as the limited amount of space available and the terms upon which Inns premises are habitually leased), the vast majority still practise from chambers.
The Inns bear more than a passing resemblance to Oxford and Cambridge colleges, with communal dining halls and libraries as well as living and working rooms: arguably, this facilitates the transition from public school to Oxbridge college to the Bar.

 Barrister biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Intending barristers must first complete the academic stage of their legal education by obtaining a qualifying law degree (usually an LL.B., but in some universities B.A. or B.C.L. - a first degree in the United Kingdom) but some undertake a one year conversion course having initially graduated in a non-law subject.
In other more specialised areas serving private clients, such as commercial, tax or chancery work, earnings are far higher and at least comparable to those of similarly experienced solicitors in big City firms (perhaps with the exception of the highest-earning partners at such firms).
The names placed on boards at the entrances of many of the staircases of the buildings within the Inns are the names of the tenant barristers (and occasionally distinguished members now prominent in judicial or political life) practising out of the chambers in those buildings.

Chancery Lane is a London Underground station in central London.
The original exit was on the north side of the street, by the junction with Chancery Lane, but was later moved to Staple Inn (one of the few surviving buildings from before the Great Fire of London) when the provision of escalators necessitated a new ticket hall to the east of the original.
The entire line, and the Waterloo and City line (which use the same kind of train), was closed whilst the cause of the failure was determined and appropriate modifications made to the trains.

 Legal London 4
Sir Robert Megarry, a former Vice-Chancellor (effective head of the Chancery Division) and writer of splendid miscellanies of legal wit and curiosities, says that the Inn was named after from Henry de Lacy, third Earl of Lincoln, who died in 1311.
The Inn seems to have been so concerned about the moral welfare of its upstanding members that it regulated the age of its laundresses so that they were either too young or too old for dalliance.
Other Chancery matters (mainly to do with landed property and wills) were also dealt with by courts in this Inn and it has always had a traditional link to that sort of practice rather than the knockabout advocacy of the Common Law Bar.

Later the word came to be applied to the markets where the great staple commodities of English trade, of which wool was the principal one, were sold, and finally to the commodity itself.
But in the absence of definite evidence of the use of this Inn as a meeting-place for the merchants of the Staple, it would be rash to connect the origin of the name with this use.
