12 - An Invaluable Hint for Preachers Drawn from the UK Courtroom

Someone involved in a UK court case might well use a lawyer; or, rather, two lawyers – a solicitor and a barrister. Over-simplifying the system, the solicitor, by drawing up the legal argument, prepares the case before it reaches the courtroom, while the barrister, inside the courtroom, using the solicitor's work, pleads the case; that is, he argues it before the court, advocates his client's cause, doing all he can to secure a favourable outcome for him.
