There were and still are now members of the legal profession who do not
go to court. Lawyers who specialize in drawing up contracts may do a
lot of work without ever appearing before the bench. My understanding
of the word Barrister clearly conotes representing clients before a judge
in a courtroom. Nowdays in the US you will sometimes here the term or
phrase 'trial lawyer' to denote an attorney who represents his clients in
court.
