Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Edition (1856)

BARRATRY, crimes. In old law French barat, baraterie, signifying robbery,
deceit, fraud. In modern usage it may be defined as the habitual moving,
exciting, and maintaining suits and quarrels, either at law or otherwise. 1
Inst. 368; 1 Hawk. 243.
2. A man cannot be indicted as a common barrator in respect of any
number of false and groundless actions brought in his own right, nor for a
single act in right of another; for that would not make him a common
barrator.
3. Barratry, in this sense, is different from maintenance (q. v.) and
champerty. (q. v.)
4. An attorney cannot be indicted for this crime, merely for
maintaining another in a groundless action. Vide 15 Mass. R. 229 1 Bailey's
