has gloss | eng: In English and Welsh legal terminology, a devil is a junior barrister who undertakes written work on behalf of a more senior barrister. The work goes out in the name of the senior barrister, and the instructing solicitors are not usually informed of the arrangement. The junior barrister is paid by the senior barrister out of the latter's own fee as a private arrangement between the two, this being one of the exceptions to the usual prohibition on fee sharing under the Code of Conduct for Barristers in England and Wales. |
