This term belongs to legal systems based on English common law (the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and others). In everyday conversation, the simpler word 'lawyer' is more common. The distinction between barrister and solicitor is important in these systems: barristers specialise in court arguments, while solicitors handle legal paperwork and meet directly with clients.
