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.

From Google Blog Search: "Lawyers" LawyersFrom Wikiquote Jump to: navigation, searchLawyers are people who practice law. In most countries, lawyers enter their profession through a period of specialized study. 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.

Q. How do defense lawyers sleep at night knowing they helped a pedophile walk free? I wonder if they care about their own children? Asked by John Rubin - Sun Jul 11 18:13:07 2010 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. First, as someone has already mentioned, in an adversarial system such as the US courts have, all charged with a crime have an expectation of zealous representation. I know many defense attorneys who are able to separate the conduct of a client from their role in ensuring the state meets its burden of evidentiary proof. In other words, they see themselves as ensuring the state plays by the rules and has a solid enough case to warrant a conviction in the face of a competent defense. Of course, I also know many defense attorneys whose personal ethics and morals won't allow them to accept certain types of clients such as accused child molesters. Many of those also tend to have client interview forms (or ask during an initial conference)… [cont.] Answered by Mark J - Sun Jul 11 19:31:35 2010 What are the different types of lawyers and what do they do?

The ways in which lawyers apply their expertise can be broadly categorized into the following practice types: Private Practice: involves working alone or with partners in a law firm to provide legal services to clients (individuals or corporations); some lawyers specialize in one or more practice areas while others engage in general practice. Public Interest Law: serves low-income individuals, marginalized groups and social causes; practitioners may work for advocacy groups, legal aid clinics and other organizations with the goal of advancing an interest of the public.

Q. Our disability lawyer wants us to pay $500.00 cash to see a doctor that they have listed, to make a better report. Do you think these doctors and lawyers are connected with each other to make it easier for the lawyers to be able to win more cases. Or are their doctors legit social security doctors. $500.00 cash up front is a lot of money. Asked by DEBBIEdebbie - Wed Jul 28 22:08:45 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The first answer is correct. If you pay ot go see that doctor, he could give his opinion that you have a lot of restrictions on your working abilities; however, if these are not supported by ALL of the medical records that are already in your file, his opinion will be ignored. Social Security gives the most weight to any doctor you have a long term relationship with, not a one-time visit to a doctor an attorney recommends. If the medical records in your file already support those restrictions, your visit to the attorney's doctor is also a waste of time because that information is already available.
