英语词汇solicitor的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

solicitor. In England solicitors handle the preliminaries of law cases, while barristers alone are members of the bar and can take cases to court. Barristers are composed of two classes: ju- nior counsels called barristers and a higher class of king’s (or queen’s) counsels, who wear silk gowns, as opposed to the formers’ gowns of common cloth. In times past a solicitor was “one who solicits in Courts of Equity through counsel,” while attorneys (from the French atourner, to turn over to another) belonged to other courts.
