What Does a Barrister Do

Post by violet »

A barrister is a type of lawyer or legal counsel. He argues cases in a court of law on behalf of his clients. He also provides advice to solicitors, who are attorneys who meet with individual clients. The main difference between the two is a barrister traditionally works primarily in court and on court-related matters, while a solicitor usually does not argue in court, but meets with clients personally and handles out-of-court legal needs instead.
