The Call to the Bar is a legal term of art in most common law jurisdictions. Like many other common law terms, it originated in England in the Middle Ages, and the call to the Bar refers to the royal summons issued to one found fit to serve at the 'bar' of the royal courts, at the monarch's pleasure. Such jurisdictions distinguish two types of lawyers: barristers have a right of audience in all courts of England and Wales; solicitors have a right of audience in the lower courts of England and Wales and are permitted to conduct litigation and practise in law outside court, e.g., providing legal advice to lay clients and acting on their behalf in legal matters. Solicitors with "higher rights" can acquire the same rights of audience as Barristers, by qualifying as a Solicitor Advocate.
