Best Answer

A solicitor is a lawyer who has no "right of audience" in any higher criminal court apart from a magistrates court (or Sheriffs court in Scotland). Solicitors deal with legal advice, property conveyancing, oaths, contracts etc.. The other type of lawyer in the English legal sysytem is the Barrister who is very expensive and argues your case in a Crown Court and above.
