A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Barra is a word that comes from Law French and means "bar". It has two historical meanings:

  1. Plea in bar: A legal defense that prevents a case from proceeding.
  2. Barrister: A type of lawyer who is qualified to represent clients in court.

For example, if a defendant raises a plea in bar, they are arguing that the case against them should be dismissed because of a legal technicality. A barrister, on the other hand, is a type of lawyer who has been called to the bar and is qualified to represent clients in court.

The term "bar" in this context refers to the physical barrier that separates lawyers and judges from the rest of the courtroom. Only qualified lawyers are allowed to pass this barrier and represent clients in court.
