English term

QC - Queen's Counsel

English to Arabic Law/Patents Law (general) Courts
A barrister appointed as counsel to the British crown. Is there a more specific term than "محام"?

It is not about the part, but about the term as such, Fuad. I will get the Departmental staff telling me their workers read it and they don't know what a QC is and could we come up with a different term :-( Happens to me all the time. The term is perfect in my opinion, but would it be to, say, a Lebanese with Y2 schooling in Arabic who works in a cheese-making factory?

Which part of ����� ������ is unclear?
Non-ProZ.com Jun 27, 2005:
Clarity a matter of importance Thank you both for the answers - I am translating a pamphlet for the local Arabic-speaking community (mostly factory workers) about OHS and I was wondering if they would have a clue what ����� ������ is? Any thoughts? Would it be permissible to simplify?
AMT, please check your emails :-)

agree ahmed ismaiel owieda : yes, ملكة must be mentioned because queen's counsel is used only when the sovereign is a woman

مستشار قانوني

If you're looking for a different term rather than محامي, then this one may work out. It even expresses counsel, and note that مستشار قانوني is a higher position than محامي too.

reading Ahmed\'s response on Mr. Fuad\'s answer, guess I\'ll add مستشار الملكة القانوني
