Law of England and Wales
This article is part of the series
Courts of England and Wales In many common law jurisdictions, a solicitor is a lawyer who traditionally offers legal services outside of the courts. In some common law countries such as England and Wales, the legal profession is split between solicitors and barristers, and a lawyer will usually only hold one title. However, in Canada and some Australian states, the legal profession has been "fused", allowing a lawyer to hold the title of "barrister and solicitor" and practice in both roles simultaneously. Before the unification of the Supreme Court in 1873, solicitors practised in the courts of chancery, while attorneys and proctors practised in the common law and ecclesiastical courts, respectively.
