Historically, solicitors took conduct of litigation, and undertook advocacy in the lower courts (tribunals, Coroner's Courts, Magistrates' Courts, County Courts, and the European Courts), but were not able to represent their clients in court in the higher courts (Crown Court, High Court, Court of Appeal, House of Lords). Instead, solicitors were required to instruct barristers (in England and Wales) or advocates) (in Scotland) to represent their clients in court. A lawsuit is a civil action brought before a court in order to recover a right, obtain damages for an injury, obtain an injunction to prevent an injury, or obtain a declaratory judgment to prevent future legal disputes. ...

Section 27 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990 and section 24 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Scotland Act 1990 created a route for solicitors to qualify for rights of audience in the higher courts where they have sufficient training and experience.

Higher rights of audience may be granted for the higher criminal courts, or the higher civil courts, or both.
