They were on Duke Street opposite the US Embassy but dat was donkey years ago in the early 70's (on my first move back to my lovely JA. Had to run wey again but that's another story). I worked in conveyancing dept. (real estate). I remember a lady named Daffodil, one named Dimples and a German girl (she was a Jehovah Witness - doan remember har name now). In those days you could become a lawyer without going to law school. You could be "grandfathered" into the profession by becoming what they called "articled clerks". They have the same thing in the industry where I am presently employed - you can be an interior designer and become an architect without going to architectural school. Just take the exams, one at a time and when you pass all a dem, bam you become a registered architect. The hardest one fe pass is the structural engineering section.
