- vidarh 11y agoSolicitors can in many cases appear in higher courts in England too these days, after the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990.
- rmc 11y agoJust after I wrote that, I thought "I'm pretty sure Scotland has advocates, maybe I should update my comment."
- gsnedders 11y agoSolicitors can also appear in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom for civil matters (the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction for criminal matters in Scotland and therefore under Scots law).
