Does England/ UK have lawyers?

Question

Since they have a monarchy does that change whether they have lawyers as part of their political system? If so, are their roles the same as American lawyers?

Answer 1

I suppose if you wanted to sue somebody in England you'd probably say "I'll call my solicitor?" instead of "I'll call my lawyer?"  Hmmm interesting terminology.

Answer 2

They have barristers who try cases in court and solicitors who do everything else an American attorney would do.

Answer 3

Yes, they are called barristers.  They perform the same functions as lawyers in the US,
