	Advocate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Advocates, members of the Faculty of Advocates, are counsel who are licensed to present cases in the supreme courts of Scotland: the Court of Session and High Court of Justiciary.
		Advocates are regulated by the Faculty of Advocates in Edinburgh.
		Advocates do not operate in chambers; they are entirely independent, although organised in eleven 'stables' for administrative purposes, and work out of the Advocates Library in Parliament House where the Court of Session is situated, in a similar way to barristers in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

	Advocates in Scotland: Part 1
		Advocates (also known as counsel) are self-employed legal consultants who specialise in the preparation and presentation of cases and in giving legal advice.
		Advocates also act as mediators, in arbitrations, and as expert witnesses on Scottish law.
		Every advocate is entirely independent; although for administrative purposes counsel are organised in groups known as 'stables', advocates are not in any sense in partnership with each other.

		An important duty of the public library is to make available to the public information, whether in the form of books, pamphlets, tapes, material read most easily by screen and keyboard, and any number of other forms.
		Routinely, our urban municipal public library departments' users/customers/consumers, library personnel, library advocates and library labor relations union collective bargaining groups' advocates with interest in BPL and participating in library long range planning are made to feel unwelcome with ridicule, derision or patronizing amusement.
		Our library should disclose better information such as validly public audits and develop more ways for library users and potential library users to be public library advocates involved with creating input for library long range planning activities.

		The potential we have in the “passive” advocates in the library and throughout the organization is staggering.
		Libraries are unique in offering individual access to information, ideas, and learning opportunities on their own terms and in their own time.
		It’ll be a great day when libraries are seen as critical to our democracy and quality of life as those institutions that support public safety, economic development, formal education, health care, and our judicial system, because of course, libraries are important contributors to all these areas.
