This question varies by jurisdiction. In most U.S. jurisdictions, it is called the "Bar Examination" The bar is typically regulated by the highest court of each state, including the District of Columbia. Again, however, regulation of attorneys may vary greatly between jurisdictions. Upon passage of the bar examination and compliance with other jurisdictional-specific requirements such as character and fitness, legal education, etc., an applicant may become eligible to legally practice law within the specific jurisdiction.

What trainig do you need to be a lawyer?
Generally, one needs a college degree, followed by three years of law school at a school acreditted by the American Bar Association. Additionally many prospective attorneys participate in an intensive review of law school to prepare for a difficult examination referred to as the bar exam. After passing the bar examination (or in some instances prior to taking the exam) there is a committee appointed by a state's Supreme Court to do a detailed investigation of the attorney candidate called the Character and Fitness Examination. After that a person is sworn in as an officer of the court and attorney at law. Few new lawyers, even after that preparation are ready to practice without gaining experience working with veteran attorneys. It takes a number of years to discern the difference between the theories of law school and the realities of life as a lawyer. In reality, as the law continues to evolve even as it strives to provide certainty to people trying to live within and obey the law. As a result, life as an attorney is an ongoing educational experience, and the reason it is called the practice of law. For an example of how an attorney's experience takes twists and turns see the related link below.

Is it common practice for an attorney to file an affidavit without going over it with the plaintiff?
It is never 'common practice' for any attorney not to keep their client informed. Failure to do so could lead to disciplinary action by the Bar depending on the particular circumstances. An affidavit is signed by the individual having personal knowledge of the facts contained in the affidavit. The person signing the affidavit can be called as a witness. I do not think your attorney wants to be called as a witness at the trial. As an attorney, I would submit an affidavit attesting to certain things, such as my client being declared indigent already by the court, in support of a motion for funds for a private investigator, etc. Take a look at what the affidavit was that was submitted. It the affidavit was based on personal knowledge that the attorney did not possess, then there was an error made. The judge will be quick to catch the error and will ask the attorney if he is ready to testify.
