In Australia, there are lawyers, and then there are lawyers. There are actually two levels of lawyers. There are the lower, basic lawyers, called lawyers. Then there are more senior lawyers, called barristers.
Barristers are very expensive, and are granted the title by the bar.
When one becomes a barrister, they are referred to as "Master". If I were a barrister, then I would be referred to as Master Larson in the court.
My friend Loretta works for a law firm. She told me that there is a very nice Barrister in town that used to work for her brother's firm named Mr. Bates.
Honest to God. That is not a joke. I'll let you figure out the rest of it. I've love to be on the jury in a case he represents. I would be on the floor laughing.
