| 释义 | 英女皇御用大律師 Abbr – QC. A title of honorary rank bestowed on a barrister or legal practitioner practising in the style of a barrister. The title originated in England in the sixteenth century when certain counsel were appointed to advise and assist the Crown and Crown Law Officers. Queen’s Counsel were appointed in Hong Kong by Crown patent on the advice of the Lord Chancellor in England, prior to 1 July 1997.
