05 Sep 04 - 06:37 PM (#1264911) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: GUEST,Barrie Roberts Hello again, Cats. It seems to me that I'm always having to confess to things on Mudcat ---still, they say it's good for your soul. I confess that I am BR, songwriter, and that though I was never a solicitor (and before all you Americans laugh, that's English for an attorney) I was, for many years a solicitor's clerk. Sorry you couldn't get into my website. I don't know why, another Mudcatter has contacted me thro' it in the last couple of days. The address really is www.barrieroberts.com, but if it really won't cooperate, try my alternative at www.barrie.roberts2@btopenworld.com. One or another should reach me. |

05 Sep 04 - 11:27 PM (#1265043) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: Nerd It is rather confusing to Americans, not because we don't know what a solicitor is, but because the site describes Barrie as a Criminal Lawyer. Is a solicitor's clerk also an attorney? If not can you be a lawyer but not an attorney in English parlance? In American parlance, generally Lawyer and Attorney are synonyms. |

07 Sep 04 - 01:24 PM (#1266072) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: GUEST,Barrie Roberts A 'criminal lawyer' ought to mean a lawyer who commits crimes (thankyou Steve!) or should be expressed as a 'criminous lawyer' i.e. a lawyer concerned with crime. A lawyer is someone who practises law, qualified, licensed or not. A solicitor is a lawyer qualified and licensed to do various things, like appearing as an advocate in lower courts. A barrister is a lawyer and advocate licensed and qualified under a different set of rules, who can appear in any court. He can only be hired by a solicitor. A legal executive is a posh modern name for what used to be called a solicitor's clerk, i.e. someone who does the real work in a solicitor's office while the boss is playing golf. An attorney is someone you appoint to act in your place. If you appoint him to act for you in legal matters he is an attorney-at-law. I trust that makes it all much more confusing! |

07 Sep 04 - 01:55 PM (#1266093) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: GUEST,Female Barrister We are many. We can be instructed by solicitors, many of whom are also women. In my experience, an attorney-at-law usually means a struck-off solicitor. |

07 Sep 04 - 04:38 PM (#1266203) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: GUEST,Barrie Roberts Lady Barrister, My profound apologies for the implied sexism of my using 'he' to refer to a barrister, but for most of my days in the law most barristers were male. Nevertheless, I always briefed what I thought to be the right person for the case, and that included a good many lay barristers over the years. |

08 Sep 04 - 02:30 AM (#1266556) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: Nerd Yes, it's not quite the same here in the states. We are a bit stuffier about licenses, etc. It would be very unusual to call someone a lawyer OR an attorney unless they had a law degree and a license to practice. Though I suppose a "disbarred attorney" is still an attorney over here. And though you can have "power of attorney" for someone, that does not make you an attorney. |

08 Sep 04 - 05:08 AM (#1266628) Subject: RE: Barrie Roberts website? From: Steve Parkes I presume that by "lay barrister" you meant to write "lady barrister", Barrie? If not, you've introduced a further layer of confusion! |

Now just mention 'Freudian slips' and I'll send you a lifelong e-curse. Nerd -- strictly speaking, in England, an attorney is someone who holds your 'power of attorney', whether he's a lawyer, solicitor, folksinger, struck-off lawyer or plain oldfashioned crook. |
