Advocates, members of the Faculty of Advocates, are counsel who are entitled to present cases in the supreme courts of Scotland: the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary.Advocates are regulated by the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh.The Faculty of Advocates has about 750 members, of whom about 460 are in private practice.About 75 are Queen's Counsel.The Faculty has a service company, Faculty Services Ltd, to which almost all advocates belong and which organises the stables and fee collection.Until the end of 2007 there was an agreement with the Law Society of Scotland, which is the professional body for Scottish solicitors, as to the payment of fees, but this has now been abrogated by the Law Society.Independent working
Advocates do not operate in chambers; they are entirely independent, although organised in eleven 'stables' for administrative purposes, and work out of the Advocates Library in Parliament House where the Court of Session is situated, in a similar way to barristers in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.The High Court of Justiciary, where advocates plead criminal cases, is situated across the Royal Mile from Parliament House.Advocates do not act directly for members of the public, taking instructions from a solicitor.Becoming an advocate
The process of becoming an advocate is referred to as devilling.Bachelor of Laws) and the Diploma in Legal Practice qualifying them as solicitors or be members of the Bar in another common law jurisdiction.Devilling
Devilling, as the period of pupillage or training to become an advocate is generally known, lasts between eight and nine months, and comprises a mix of skills training courses and time spent working with a devilmaster.The compulsory skills training courses, are spread across the devilling period and last for about ten weeks in total.For the balance of the period of devilling, devils work closely with their devilmasters.Devils also spend part of the time with another devilmaster practising in the criminal courts, and many devils spend a short period of time with a third devilmaster working in a different aspect of civil work from their principal devilmaster.All devils and devilmasters are issued the current edition of the Faculty's Devil's Handbook.In order to take a devil, a devilmaster must be approved by the Dean of Faculty.Devils are expected to attend court with their devilmasters, and to attend consultations with solicitors instructing their devilmaster and with the solicitors' clients.Admission to the Faculty of Advocates
At the end of the devilling period, a devil's admission to the Faculty is dependent on certification by the principal devilmaster that the devil is a fit and proper person to be an advocate, and that the devil has been involved in a wide range of work in the course of devilling.Recent developments
In recent years, more advocates have come to the Scottish Bar after some time as solicitors, but it is possible to qualify with a law degree, after a year's traineeship in a solicitor's office and almost a year as a 'devil', or apprentice advocate.Until 2007, a number of young European lawyers were given a placement with advocates under the European Young Lawyers Scheme organised by the British Council.Some well known Scottish advocates in the past were Sir Walter Scott, Alexander Boswell, James Boswell, David Dalrymple, Robert Louis Stevenson, Henry Home and Alexander Wedderburn.Others, at the present day , include Alastair Darling, Menzies Campbell, Malcolm Rifkind, Desmond Browne, Donald Findlay,and Ian Hamilton.Advocates in the Channel Islands
