Barrister vs. Solicitor?

The general difference is that a Barrister goes to court; a solicitor doesn't.

In England, I understand there's actually a quota on Barristers. They get paid quite well.
 
Speaking of lawyers (sorry DQ I can't resist) I like to go to the classy restaurants that say " No Solicitors" on the door.

You're right regarding the difference. This distinction does not apply in Canda. All Canadian lawyers(except Notaries in Quebec) are Barristers and Solicitors
 
Is a lady Barrister with no briefs a Solicitor?

Not unless you are courting her.


Be careful how you try to docket if there is a recess.

In the US just make sure you drink the Fifth.



The Toronto SP's are organizing a Hung Jury. I hope they discover me.

Pops has an inferiority complex.

I suggest he go hunting after the Atty General
and his ilk who gives the profession a bad name.

Prosecutors can be extremely obnoxious.



Come on Don, Papa just likes to kid around.


Did I mention that our company solicitor asked for a retainer.
I said no problem and gave him my sons old one.:D


Trying to recreate good British humour for all Americans who missed the Britcoms.

I realize pops was posting the way he always does.

Interesting sidebar: his real-life job is building
prisons. Seems to me he has a vested interest
in increasing criminal convictions. There's more
work for him.

I can't get a straight answer from him, but I
suspect he had a contract at Gitmo.

I build schools and hospitals too along with offices and retail.......One has to be multi-demensional.

Either a) I'm loosing my mind or b) the thread was deleted. I posted about this topic in excruciating detail a month or perhaps two ago. However, I've done a search and I'll be darned if I can find it and I'm not about to rewrite it. :eek:
