I often get asked what is the difference between a solicitor and a barrister. The usual answer is that solicitors are the back room boys and barristers stand up in court and present the cases, but that isn’t completely definitive. A more visual example is provided in Tim Kevan’s new book “Law and Peace”, the second volume of BabyBarista’s diaries: barristers wear doublecuffs and hand-made suits, solicitors leather jackets and rucksacks. Hmm.
