Paraclete (pâr'əklēt) , in the New Testament, title of the Holy Spirit, often translated as “Comforter” or “Advocate.” In First John, Jesus himself is the “Paraclete.”

The Paraclete is the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sends to be a Helper to all people who have decided to repent of their sins, accept Jesus Christ's blood sacrifice on the Cross and accept Him as personal Lord and Savior.

The definition of Paraclete is, "one who consoles - a comforter" or "one who intercedes on our behalf - an advocate". Further definitions are, 'Spirit of Truth', Lightfull Spirit of God Almighty, Holy Breath, Almighty Breath, Giver of Life, Lord of Grace, Helper, 'Comforter', 'Counsellor' and 'Supporter'.

The Paracletes, for some while, have been an order where priests accused of misconduct such as sexual abuse are sent to keep them out of harms way.

There's a monastary for such Paracletes located, for instance, in Jemez, New Mexico, where many have been sent and where some still reside.

Yes, it was a kind of legal advisor in those days.
Paraclete comes from the Koine Greek word παράκλητος (Parakletos) (Strong's G3875) meaning "one who consoles - a comforter" or "one who intercedes on our behalf - an advocate".

It's a very, very old term for "comforter" that early Christians used to apply to the Holy Spirit.
