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).

A. i've been studying the emigration rules and regulations for years ,and next year if appropriate, i'm gonna, apply to go to new zealand myself, one thing i have lear'nt is you do not need either if you know what your doing, all the info put forward by them on your behalf is information that you have gathered yourself personally, because you are the only person with access to it, make sure you sell yourself in a big way regardless of how insignificant you feel it may be, for example that you are fluent in the english langauge, it's a fact a lot of these so called consultancies are just a rip off, they rely on your ignorance and insecurity

Do you have to have a lawyer to distribute trust assets after the Trustee dies?
Q. My mother recently died and she had a lawyer make a trust , do you need a lawyer to distribute that trust?
Asked by Rampart - Sun Jan 18 20:49:35 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the trust was properly set up, it provides for WHO takes over as trustee when the original trustee dies. Depending on the terms of the trust, it may NOT be distributed. A trust CAN continue for generations if it is set up to do so. What you DO need an attorney for is to review the trust and determine what should be done now.

Lawyers

From Wikiquote (Redirected from Lawyer) Jump to: navigation, search

Lawyers 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.
