Yes, they should call her a bachelor of law or LL.B instead, that's one of her academic titles. To become enlisted in the roll of solicitors (or the Australian equivalent of it) she would have to do a one year training course in addition to her academic degree. She chose to persue a career in her second Baccalaureate's topic: Commerce. In full she is BComm LL.B and could, if she hadn't given up her career in order to marry, ended up a Doctor Juris/MBA without that much academic tuition to go, as her working would have been considered as part of her tuition time. I guess it's easier for magazines who are not interested in the way the academic world works in Australia to call her a lawyer instead of explaining which law degree she actually has and what that means when it comes to the different ways to practise law.
