Barrister

A barrister is a category of lawyer found in common law jurisdictions that traces its origins to the Inns of Court of medieval England. Barristers specialize in courtroom advocacy and litigation, arguing cases before courts and tribunals, and also draft legal pleadings, conduct legal research, and provide legal opinions. Many common law jurisdictions divide the legal profession between barristers, who focus on advocacy, and solicitors, who handle direct client relations and case preparation. The barrister tradition remains a defining structural feature of common law legal systems descended from England.
