Scottish Advocate

A Scottish Advocate is a qualified lawyer who specializes in representing clients in court, particularly in civil and criminal cases. They are members of the Faculty of Advocates, a professional body similar to barristers in England. Advocates provide expert legal advice, draft legal documents, and present cases in Scotland's courts, especially at higher levels like the Court of Session and the High Court of Justiciary. They often work on complex legal matters and are distinguished by their advocacy skills, deep legal knowledge, and ability to effectively present cases before a judge and jury.
