A solicitor is a type of lawyer in many common law jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, but not the United States or Canada (in the United States the word has a quite different meaning—see below). In most common law countries the legal profession is split between: solicitors who represent and advise clients, and a barrister who is retained by a solicitor to advocate in a legal hearing or to render a legal opinion.
However in several Australian States (including South Australia), as well as in Canada, the legal profession is "fused" which means that a lawyer can be a solicitor, barrister, and proctor.
Where the legal profession is not "fused" in cases where a trial is necessary a client must retain a solicitor, who will advise him or her and then may deliver a brief to a barrister to act on the solicitor's instructions.
