- bitwize 4y agoYeah, we don't have the barrister-solicitor distinction, just licensed attorneys who may specialize in different areas of law, or of handling a case. When you "pass the bar" or "are admitted to the bar" in American legal parlance, it means you have passed the state bar exam and obtained your license to practice law.
