Nope. "Barrister" is, as my Webster's says, chiefly British. Is the term Canadian, too?

A barrister, in the UK, is a lawyer admitted to present cases to a court. The function is bifurcated from the role of attorney and counselor as to legal matters out of court.

In the US, the functions are performed by the same person. A person licensed as a lawyer in the 50 may represent people in court, as well as advise them as to other legal matters. The term "barrister" is not used.
