What Is The Main Duty And Approach Of Barristers In A Particular Legal Case

In the United Kingdom, the legal system comprises solicitors and Barristers. However, there is a fine

difference between these two legal occupations. The solicitor exclusively and directly has immediate

access to the client, and also picks and guides the barrister who is barred from dealing with the client

directly. On the other hand, barrister is an official of the court and acts on behalf of the client. He is an

official lawyer who has been acknowledged to appeal at the bar that means he has been invited to the

bar. The invitation is actually given by the official benchers of the 4 Inns of Court in United Kingdom.

All the barristers and solicitors should have at least second-class honours degree from a reputed law

college or institute. On the other hand, barristers must attend Inns of Court or other authorized Bar

Vocational Course. All the law students should have at least 1 year practical training before they give their

final exams. Once students pass the final bar exams the call is pursued by a 1 year pupilage in <a

Barristers Chambers. This procedure permits the novice lawyer to take advantage from intermingling and

attending the court with a knowledgeable barrister. The function of barristers in a particular legal system is

to guarantee that justice is given to individuals with the finest representation in the court before the main

judge.

The main responsibility of the barrister is with the court and hence to justice. Fundamentally, the barrister

is permitted to appear in a court to defend a client's legal case. However, barristers are forbidden from

integrating or joining as legal partners. Barristers can also become criminal lawyers depending upon their

current expertise, experience and knowledge. But they should have at least 5-6 years of experience if

they intend to become the best criminal lawyers in the city.

Barristers are not permitted to form partnerships, however; several barristers might easily make Barristers

Chambers. The chamber can have single practitioners, and maybe a clerk who works for other barristers.

Officially, a barrister is handed an honorarium and not a salary in return for the services offered to the

clients. Clients cannot deal directly with barristers. They need to contact solicitors who fundamentally brief

the barristers. The honorarium is remunerated to the lawyer who in turn gives it to the barrister. However,

the client cannot be prosecuted by the barrister with respect to honorarium. There are several barristers in

the United Kingdom that are there on SearchMe4.
