Legal practitioners
Lawyers in the United Kingdom
jurisdictions generally practise as solicitors in private firms, as legal
advisors in corporations, government departments, and advice agencies, or
as barristers. They can each do advocacy, draft legal documents and give
written advice, but solicitors, unlike barristers, cannot appear in every
court.
