What is the Kings Council?

King's Counsel (abbreviated to KC) is a senior lawyer, often a barrister or solicitor, who has been formally recognised for their excellence in advocacy (often holding a significant amount of experience in complex cases or within their specific area of law). They’re known for taking on the more serious or high-profile cases, either working on behalf of solicitors or representing clients directly. 

To achieve this mark of distinction, the individual must have practised law for a minimum of 10 years, be recommended by the Lord Chancellor and later appointed by the monarch. During a female monarch's reign, they're known as 'QC' - Queen's Counsel.
