English advocate ?
[edit]Forgive my possible lack of knowlidge concerning juridical terms in the UK. But isn't an advocate only a Scottish term ? In England and Wales I've previously thought that loyers eighter are soliciters or barristers (and around 13% of all barristers also gets the appointment "QC" - Queens Council). This person seems to have lived in England, so my question is - if "advocate" is a correct term in this article ? Boeing720 (talk) 20:05, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
- "Advocate" in the dictionary rather than legal meaning of the word. Shorter was a convicted violent felon and thus ineligible to be admitted before the bar. "Activist" would be a better choice of word.
