Meaning of Solicitor
A person whose business is to be employed in the care and management of suits depending in courts of chancery. A solicitor, like an attorney, will be required to act with perfect good faith towards his clients. He must conform to the authority given him. It Is said that, to institute a suit, he must have a special authority, although a general authority will be sufficient to defend one. The want of a written authority may subject him to the expenses incurred in a suit. 3 Mer. 12; Hovenden, Frauds, c. 2, pp. 28-61. See 1 PhiL Ev. 102; 2 Chit. Prac. 2. See “Attorney.”
