I'm a barrister, and I've never heard the phrase 'utter barrister'. The only qualification to barrister that I've heard, is 'junior' (compared to 'Silk')81.110.162.159 22:41, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check your certificate of call. It should say "called to the Degree of an Utter Barrister on ... ", or at least it certainly should do if you are a member of Lincoln's Inn. Can't speak for the other Inns. --Legis (talk - contributions) 11:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the case for Middle Temple also, where being called to 'the Degree of the Utter Bar' is part of the formula used at call. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaisersoze2000 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
