difference between lawyer and advocate and barrister???
Answers
- There is not much difference between these two terms as such. LAWYER is a person who is still in the process of pursuing Law/LL.B Whereas term ADVOCATE is usually refers to a lawyer who is practising and who has completed his law course and is no more a student. So the former is used informally /casually while the latter one is formally used.
- Thus, it can be said that an advocate may be a lawyer but a lawyer may not be an advocate .An 'Advocate' is a step ahead of a' lawyer'....
- An advocate is someone who speaks on behalf of another person
- A lawyer, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is "a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person licensed to practice law. . who gives legal advice.
A barrister is a type of lawyer in common law jurisdictions. Barristers mostly specialise in courtroom advocacy and litigation. Their tasks include taking cases in superior courts and tribunals, drafting legal pleadings, researching the philosophy, hypothesis and history of law, and giving expert legal opinions. Often, barristers are also recognised as legal scholars.....

Understanding more precisely :
An advocate is one who speaks on behalf of another person, especially in a legal context
Thus can be said that represents the knowledge, skill, ability, or standing to speak for them. The broad equivalent in many English law-based jurisdictions is "barrister".
A barrister is a lawyer found in many common law jurisdictions which employ a split profession in relation to legal representation. In split professions, the other type of lawyer is the solicitor. Solicitors have more direct contact with the clients, whereas barristers often only become involved in a case once advocacy before a court is needed by the client. Barristers are also engaged by solicitors to provide specialist advice on points of law. Barristers are rarely, if ever, instructed by clients directly (although this occurs frequently in tax matters). Instead, the client's solicitors will instruct a barrister on behalf of the client when appropriate.
A lawyer, according to Black's law dictionary, is "a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person taught to practice law.
Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who retain/ hire lawyers to perform legal services.
