 What is the difference between an Advocate Lawyer and Counsel ? 


An advocate and a counsel are both legal professionals who are authorized to practice law and provide legal advice to clients. However, the terms are often used somewhat differently in different countries and contexts.

Generally speaking, an advocate is a lawyer who represents clients in a court of law, whereas a counsel is a lawyer who advises clients and provides them with legal guidance but does not represent them in court.

In India, an Advocate is someone who is enrolled with a Bar Council and has the right to practice in court. Counsel is someone who appears in court as representative of the Advocate, but is not enrolled with the Bar Council and is not entitled to practice law.

In common law countries like United Kingdom, advocate is a term used to refer to a lawyer who has the right to speak and plead in court, while counsel is used to refer to a lawyer who is retained to give advice on a case, but does not appear in court.

In other words, an advocate is a general term for a lawyer who practices law and appears in court, while a counsel is a more specific term for a lawyer who provides legal advice but does not appear in court.
