Moi Aussi; Lawyer, Advocate and Attorney mean essentially the same thing. Barrister and Solicitor are classifications of the above. (At least in Canada, used to be.) A Barrister would go in front of the Bar, in Court (If not at speakeasies.) and argue a case. A Solicitor’s work is one notch below that. They could only file legal papers, but not argue a case in Court. Of course. In the US Legal system there never were such distinctions made. Leaving room for any Shyster to be in the Legal profession.
