- The title of Senior Counsel or State Counsel (post-nominal letters: SC) is given to a senior lawyer in some countries that were formerly part of the British Empire. "Senior Counsel" is used in current or former Commonwealth countries or jurisdictions that have chosen to change the title "King's Counsel" to a name without monarchical connotations, usually related to the British monarch that is no longer head of state, such that reference to the King is no longer appropriate. Examples of jurisdictions which have made the change because of the latter reason include Mauritius, Zambia, India, Hong Kong, Ireland, South Africa, Kenya, Malawi, Singapore, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. Jurisdictions which have retained the monarch as head of state, but have nonetheless opted for the new title include some states and territories of Australia, as well as Belize. Just as a junior counsel is "called to the [Outer] Bar", a Senior Counsel is, in some jurisdictions, said to be "called to the Inner Bar". Senior Counsel may informally style themselves as silks, like their British counterparts. This is the case in Ireland, Australia, Hong Kong and South Africa. (en)
- 資深大律師（英語：Senior Counsel）是一些普通法国家和地区對經確認後的資深訟務律師稱號。該稱號一般是這些司法轄區取消過去使用的“御用大律師”頭銜後啓用的代替頭銜，因此實際待遇與之前的御用大律師類似。新加坡將此一英文頭銜在中文中稱為高級律師。 香港在1997年主權移交予中華人民共和國後啓用“資深大律師”頭銜。除香港外，愛爾蘭、南非、圭亞那、特立尼达和多巴哥、印度以及澳大利亞的大多數州都使用了“資深大律師”的稱號。澳大利亞的聯邦司法轄區及三個州、加拿大的聯邦司法轄區以及新西蘭也曾使用“資深大律師”，但在近年恢復了“御用大律師”。其他國家使用的類似稱號包括斯里蘭卡的總統專用大律師。 (zh)
