In the UK lawyers are called barristers. There may be a further
distinction. I sat in on a trial for fun while in London on business.
They had the wigs, robes and all. Very eloquent speaking. Not like our
US TV shows.

Barristers practice law before the bar -- that is, in court. Solicitors
practice law, but do not appear in court. The distinction is peculiar
to the UK. In the US, lawyers is lawyers.
