who has rights of audience in county court
Rights of audience In superior courts, generally only barristers or advocates have a right of audience. Depending on jurisdiction, solicitors may have a right of audience in Magistrates and County or District courts.[2] Further, a person appearing in court without legal representation has a right of audience but a person who is not a lawyer that assists a party to a legal matter in court does not have a right of audience.[citation needed] See D v S (Rights of Audience) [1997] 2 FCR 217
