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.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The role of the lawyer varies significantly across legal jurisdictions, and therefore can be treated here in only the most general terms.[2][3] More information is available in country-specific articles (see below).<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Terminology</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In practice, legal jurisdictions exercise their right to determine who is recognized as being a lawyer; as a result, the meaning of the term "lawyer" may vary from place to place.[4]<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Australia</span>, the word "lawyer" is used to refer to both barristers and solicitors (whether in private practice or practising as corporate in-house counsel) but not people who do not practice the law.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Canada</span>, the word "lawyer" only refers to individuals who have been called to the bar or have qualified as civil law notaries in the province of Quebec. Common law lawyers in Canada may also be known as "barristers and solicitors", but should not be referred to as "attorneys", since that term has a different meaning in Canadian usage. However, in Quebec, civil law advocates (or avocats in French) often call themselves "attorney" and sometimes "barrister and solicitor".<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In England</span>, "lawyer" is used loosely to refer to a broad variety of law-trained persons. It includes practitioners such as barristers, solicitors, legal executives and licensed conveyancers; and people who are involved with the law but do not practise it on behalf of individual clients, such as judges, court clerks, and drafters of legislation.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In India</span>, the term "lawyer" is often colloquially used, but the official term is "advocate" as prescribed under the Advocates Act, 1961.[5]<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In Scotland</span>, the word "lawyer" refers to a more specific group of legally trained people. It specifically includes advocates and solicitors. In a generic sense, it may also include judges and law-trained support staff.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">In the United States</span>, the term generally refers to attorneys who may practice law; it is never used to refer to patent agents[6] or paralegals.[7]<br /></div>Other nations tend to have comparable terms for the analogous concept.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Read more ... </span>(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawyer"> click here</a> )<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3865008883725727275-5172224487661811553?l=ozs-lawyer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>OZshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16625766275119451415noreply@blogger.com42
