[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t there a difference between attorneys and solicitors? My work makes a distinction [/quote] In the UK a solicitor is a lawyer who advises and a barrister is a lawyer who argues in court. I’ve never heard solicitor used in the us in relation to law. In securities, it’s someone licensed to market and sell a product on someone else’s behalf[/quote] It is a title in many state governments (and sometimes other entities) to refer to the senior most trial or appellate lawyer (for example, the US Solicitor General has ultimate responsibility for all US government appearances before the Supreme Court).[/quote]
