There exists a line of demarcation, strictly maintained, between the order of barristers and the guild of attorneys and solicitors in Paris.

However venerable an attorney may be, however capable and strong in his profession, he must go to the barrister.

The attorney is the administrator, who maps out the plan of the campaign, collects the munitions of war, and puts the force in motion; the barrister gives battle.

It is not known why the law gives a man two men to defend him any more than it is known why an author is forced to have both printer and publisher.

The rules of the bar forbid its members to do any act belonging to the guild of attorneys.
