A barrister is a qualified lawyer who is allowed to appear in any court representing either side. Sometimes they act for the defence sometimes for the prosecution or the plaintiff or the defendant. They are also consulted by solicitors about the likely result of cases. You cannot approach a barrister directly but only through a solicitor.

Barristers? You mean lawyers and attorneys? They overlook legal proceedings and defend people in court.

Nowadays a barrister has to have a law degree or do a conversion course in law after taking a degree in another subject. To read for the Bar a student must join one of the four Inns of Court in London: Gray's Inn, Lincoln's Inn, the Inner Temple or the Middle Temple and keep term (i.e. attend a number of dinners in Hall. He must pass the Bar finals (a demanding series of exams testing one's practical knowledge as well as academic knowledge in law), on successful completion of which he may apply to his Inn to be called to the Bar. Incidentally, only people who manage to fund themselves for this course as full time students are qualified to practise as barristers in England and Wales. For most practical purposes it is then necessary to complete a pupillage. This involves being attached to a barrister of at least 5 years' standing and learning the job from him/her by helping with the paperwork, attending court and doing a lot of the running around and sitting in on conferences with clients. After six months the pupil barrister is allowed to take on cases of his/her own.
It is in fact quite a long haul and despite all the sneering comments which less informed people have made, a large proportion of barristers do not in fact earn very much. They are self employed and rely on good health so that they can carry on with their practice without taking time off. They have colossal overheads: professional indemnity insurance (in case clients sue them), which is mandatory; chambers' fees (their share of the rent for the chambers from which they practise, which is payable quarterly and which can eat up a large share of their earnings); the vast amount of money which they spend on travel to and from court all over the country and incidentals, such as stationery. It used to be the case that barristers' clerks were paid 10% of fees, but usually now this particular overhead is included in inflated chambers' rents. There are also very expensive practitioners' books which they feel they have to fork out for and which need to be replaced at alarmingly frequent intervals as the law changes. Meanwhile, as they are constantly stumping up money in this way, barristers have to wait a considerable time before their fees come in and very often have bad debts - i.e. money which is never paid at all. The hours which they have to put in in preparing cases would make most people shudder. What is more, even after a newly qualified barrister has completed pupillage (a minimum of one year), there is no guarantee of a place in chambers, which is a prerequisite in order to practise.
So, a barrister is always having to stump up and often finds that the fees which come in barely cover his/her overheads, let alone pay the mortgage or the food bills. And that is the experience of a large proportion of practising members of the Bar.
There are, of course, those who are fortunate enough to land on their feet and do well, either because of their brilliance as advocates or because they find some other outlet for their talents which boosts their earnings. But most people who want to practise as barristers have to steel themselves for a great deal of hard work and the expenditure of a great deal of money in order to qualify; further effort to succeed during pupillage and an enormous amount of hard work afterwards to keep solvent.
A barrister who is found to be in breach of the very stringent rules governing members of the Bar can be brought before a Disciplinary Tribunal. This is the means whereby a profession of self-employed practitioners is regulated
I hope this helps.
