The following apply to the United States of America,\nFirst, one must remember that the accused is entitled to his/her day in court and to confront the witnesses against him/her. Confront here means question in court, not go toe to toe.\nSecond, there is a principle known as discovery where the accused's attorney gets to see evidence, including statements made against the accused, in order to be able to mount a defense. Now there's the rub, the attorney might be unethical enough to reveal names of witnesses to the accused prior to trial.\nI would suggest speaking with the prosecuting attorney about your concerns.

Usually the term is used to describe an account of every word or gesture used at a meeting or gathering as recorded by a stenographer or court reporter.  There is no editorializing by the person or people making the transcript.  There are no choices made to leave some parts in, take some parts out, or rearrange the elements for greater creative effect.

I've included a link below about its role, and an excerpt below:\n\n"In the Supreme Court, a Judicial Case Conference (a "JCC") is scheduled. A JCC is an informal, off-the-record hearing before a judge to discuss the basics of case and whether there is any prospect for a settlement of the issues. A JCC is also useful for setting dates by which things must happen, such as the exchange of financial information, and for setting a trial date. Both parties must attend the JCC in person along with their lawyers."

An evidentiary hearing to determine whether the factual basis existed to support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is called a Ginther hearing in Michigan.\n\nIn People v. Ginther, 390 Mich. 436 (1973), the Michigan Supreme Court held that:\nA defendant who wishes to advance claims that depend on matters not of record can properly be required to seek at the trial court level an evidentiary hearing for the purpose of establishing his claims with evidence as a precondition to invoking the processes of the appellate\ncourts except in the rare case where the record manifestly shows that judge would refuse a hearing; in such a case the defendant should seek on appeal, not a reversal of his conviction, but an order directing the trial court to conduct the needed hearing.

SarahLiz is correct. Short version.\n\nBarristers appear before the court. Solicitors give legal advice.\nLawyers and attorneys (at law) do both. \n\nMost jurisdictions have just lawyers/attorneys. Some split and have separate licenses for barristers (litigators) and solicitors.\n\nOther than that, the terms are often swapped around. See above.
