I don’t understand the differences between lawyers, barrister’s and solicitor’s.
Don’t they all ahve the same role? They have to represent a client in court. Can someone please explain the differences in words that i’ll be able to understand, rather then words such as, advocacy.
Thankyou so much

This is what I understand (but can be incorrect on some).
A lawyer is well-versed in law and has passed rigorous examinations. A lawyer can perform any function representing a client in a court.
A barrister pleads his client’s case before superior or high courts. Barristers, I think, are more common in the UK (United Kingdom).
A solicitor can conduct litigation in a court, but cannot plead his client’s case in an open court as a barrister or lawyer can. (UK)
An Advocate is someone approved by the court (judge) who can plead a cause before the court or offer experienced or expert advice. (American and UK).
