In Scotland, the situation is different from England and Wales. In Scotland, you are represented by an Advocate, (who is more than a solicitor but less than a barrister, but are often solicitors in their own right) and the courts are presided over by Sheriffs, (who are themselves highly-qualified lawyers). The legal system in Scotland is more like the European system than the English or US system, so (very roughly) Advocates are there to make sure the Sheriffs play fair, instead of a judge making sure the lawyers play fair. barristers barristers
