seat [si:t] n
law What is a seat? At almost all law firms you'll spend time in several different departments during your training to become a solicitor. At most firms you'll spend four six-month periods in four different departments, at others it'll be six four-month periods. A few have more unusual bespoke arrangements. Each of these periods is known as a "seat" because historically it was exactly that: a chair in the office of a more senior lawyer who supervised you. Rest assured: these days you'll get a desk and computer to work on too. (first/second/third/fourth-seat trainee chambersstudent.co.uk LadaP)
