In Queensland lawyers are admitted as either solicitors or barristers.
However, Queensland solicitors can appear in court for clients. Queensland solicitors usually restrict themselves to representing clients in the Magistrates court and briefing barristers in the higher courts.
Queensland barristers specialise in court advocacy, the preparation of pleadings for court cases, and the preparation of specialist legal opinions.
Queensland barristers are able to accept instructions directly from clients if they choose, but they generally accept instructions for clients upon referral from solicitors.
Some Brisbane lawyers specialising in areas of law will travel to regional areas. This includes Brisbane Solicitors and Barristers.
