Judges are usually chosen … the most senior barristers, and once they cannot continue to practice as barristers. Solicitors do much … the initial preparation … cases which they then hand … barristers, as well as handling legal work which does not come before a court, such as drawing up wills, and dealing … litigation which is settled out of court. Solicitors also have a right of audience … lower courts, but in higher courts, such as the Court … Appeal, they must have a barrister argue their client's case. In general, it can be said that a barrister spends most of his time either in a courtroom or preparing his arguments … the court and solicitor spends most of his time in an office giving advice … clients, making investigations and preparing documents. Many people believe the distinction between barristers and solicitors should be eliminated in England, as has already happened in Australia. The government is considering various proposals, but there are arguments … maintaining, as well removing, the division.
