Meaning:
A barrister is a legal professional who specializes in courtroom advocacy. They represent clients in court, argue cases on their behalf, and provide legal advice.
Origin:
The term "barrister" originated in England. In the early Middle Ages, legal proceedings were held in a large hall called the King's Bench. Lawyers were assigned seats in a specific area of the hall known as the "bar." Those lawyers who were allowed to practice in the courts that sat within the King's Bench became known as "barristers at law."
Over time, the term "barrister" became associated with a particular level of legal training and expertise. In England and Wales, barristers are required to undergo specialized training and obtain a license to practice as a barrister.
In other jurisdictions, such as the United States and Canada, the term "barrister" is not as commonly used. Lawyers who practice in these countries are typically referred to as "attorneys at law" or "lawyers."
