King's Counsel or Queen's Counsel

King's Counsel (KC) or Queen's Counsel (QC) are those barristers in England and Ireland who, having been successful in their profession have received the letters-patent conferring that title and right of precedence in all courts. The appointment is honorary and for life, but in acting against the Crown a KC or QC must obtain leave by special license, which is always granted.
