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.

Q. I am going through a divorce right now and my ex-Husband said that his lawyer requested a trial for the divorce without his consent or signature. Asked by FROGGY - Tue Apr 18 18:35:41 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, no, no. This will not happen. First, a trial is very time consuming. For the lawyer, time is money. If his client doesn't consent to a trial, why should the lawyer want to do something which will cost him time without someone willing to pay the bill? Second, and perhaps more important, if a lawyer goes against the will of his client, he is open to being sued by the client, and sanctioned (fined, punished) by the state. A lawyer can advise a client that a trial would be the best approach, but the lawyer must, absolutely must, abide by the client's wishes.

That attorney has committed a serious violation and is subject to discipline if not disbarrment. The ONLY costs an attorney is allowed to front for a client are suit-related; such as filing fees, deposition fees, etc. An attorney is NOT allowed to give a client money for living expenses. Edit: to those giving me thumbs down, I sincerely hope you are not attorneys. If you are, then I suggest you take another look at ABA model rule 1.8(e) and the corresponding state versions: "(e) A lawyer shall not provide financial assistance to a client in connection with pending or contemplated litigation, except that: (1) a lawyer may advance court costs and expenses of… [cont.] Answered by Common - Thu Jan 29 17:23:19 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "trial lawyer" |
