A lawyer, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is "a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person licensed to practice law." Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereign government of a society to correct wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice. Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who retain (i.e., hire) lawyers to perform legal services.

The role of the lawyer varies significantly across legal jurisdictions, and so it can be treated here in only the most general terms. More information is available in country-specific articles (see below).

What is a BADASS lawyer and how do they differ from other lawyers?
Q. Sorry P. Hellicat, but you use this term a lot and I haven't heard it elsewhere. I expect it's an 'americanism' for a tough, high profile lawyer who always gets his/her way, what we'd call a QC (queen's council). Of course I meant Persiphone Hellecat

A. I think BADASS is an acronym for: Being A Dishonest A-hole while Stealing Salary. I can't confirm that on Wikipedia though.

A. I have been practicing law for over ten years. If you enjoy reading and writing, you will enjoy being a lawyer. Of course, it also depends on what kind of law you practice. Remember, that the law is not like what you see in the movies or on TV. Not all lawyers appear in court and try cases. If a lawyer has done his work properly, a case will never go to court. A court trial is always the last resort. When a case goes to trial, 80-90% of the work has been done. Get into the habit of reading a lot, and asking questions in class, and participating in class discussions. Get the best grades possible, go to a good college, and do the best you possibly can. Make your schoolwork your priority. Forget about boyfriends, parties, and social… [cont.]

From Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, search

Lawyers are a frequent target of criticism, in part because they are often the public face of unscrupulous parties such as persons being tried for crimes, because they employ a specialized jargon which makes it difficult for persons without a legal education to receive the benefits of the legal system without hiring a lawyer, and because they make up a disproportionate percentage of politicians.

  • Is it not remarkable that the common repute which we all give to attorneys in the general is exactly opposite to that which every man gives to his own attorney in particular? Whom does anybody trust so implicitly as he trusts his own attorney? And yet is it not the case that the body of attorneys is supposed to be the most roguish body in existence?
