In the future, please quote the full source. It will make the explanation easier.
articles or clerkship or articles of apprenticeship is a form of apprenticeship under a master (who is a professional) and I would assume in this context, a legal practitioner (normally a barrister).
Did you obtain this from one of the Australian State Bar's site or an Aussie Uni's site?

can we specialize more than one?
For you to understand the profession better, it is best if you read up in wikipedia on the distinction between a barrister and a solicitor before looking at it as a fused profession.
In a fused profession, their roles are merged. You can specialise in more than a particular area of law but you would be defeating the entire purpose of practitioners practising as a barrister. But if you do not practise in more than a particular area, then you would not be practising as a proper solicitor as well. So do read up on the distinction and give your question some thought.
The simple answer is, it is possible. Then again, it is best if you are able to reach this conclusion yourself. Therefore, do read up .
