A Barrister can hold council with a judge and represent a client in a High Court, Crown Court or a Magistrates Court of Law. A solicitor cannot hold council with a judge and only advise a client on points of law and appoint a Barrister to represent a client in a Crown Court. But can represented a client in a Magistrates Court.
