What’s the difference between a lawyer and a barrister?

A lawyer is a person who practises law; one who conducts lawsuits for clients or advises clients of their legal rights and obligations. A barrister is a legal practitioner whose main function is to practise advocacy in court. They often have less interaction with clients. Barristers spend their working hours in chambers where they prepare their cases.
