equivalent of solicitor and barrister Explanation: You can't really give an exact parallel because the 2 legal systems are different so the 2 types of laywers will not have exactly the same roles - e.g. in Spanish law there is also a 'notario' which does not exist in the UK but has some of the same duties as a solicitor. From a previous translation I did the descriptions of the 2 pointed to 'procurador' being the equivalent of a solicitor and 'abogado' being the equivalent of a barrister, but I wouldn't translate them directly like that as you can create confusion about who they are and what they do. It might help if you gave some context for your question. Does that help? |
