Only in the\u00a0ecclesiastical\u00a0and admiralty courts, however, did procurators (proctors) and doctors of the civil and canon laws become established as practitioners. The native \u201ccommon law\u201d was developed by a specialized legal society, the\u00a0Inns of Court, in London; there, through lectures and apprenticeship, men acquired admission to practice before the royal courts. More particularly, they could become\u00a0serjeants\u2014the most dignified of the advocates, from whom alone after about 1300 the royal judges were appointed. Various agents for litigation resembling procurators also became known. The \u201cattorneys,\u201d authorized by legislation, at first shared the life of the Inns with the \u201capprentices\u201d in\u00a0advocacy, who themselves in time acquired the title of\u00a0barrister. Indeed, there were cases of men working as both barristers and attorneys. When in the 16th century the\u00a0Court of Chancery\u00a0was established as the dispenser of \u201cequity,\u201d the appropriate\u00a0agent\u00a0for litigation was called a\u00a0solicitor, but the common-law serjeants and barristers secured the right of advocacy in that\u00a0court. It was not until the 17th century that the attorneys and solicitors were expelled from the Inns and the division between\u00a0advocate\u00a0and attorney became rigid, and not until the 18th century did the barristers accept a rule that they would function only upon being engaged by an attorney\u2014not upon being retained directly by a client. Other types of legal agents also developed in England, but in the 19th century all of the nonbarristers were brought under the one name, solicitor. The order of serjeants was eliminated, leaving only barristers, of whom the most senior could be made\u00a0Queen\u2019s (or King\u2019s)\u00a0Counsel."}
