Lawyers: The Most Joked-About Professionals
Introduction
"I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character." - Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)
Despite the humor often associated with lawyers, their role is crucial. According to the dictionary, a lawyer is a professional authorized to practice law, conduct lawsuits, or provide legal advice. The legal encyclopedia Thomas Gale defines a lawyer as anyone qualified to prosecute or defend cases in courts or other tribunals.
Understanding the Terminology
Terms like "attorney" and "counselor at law" are frequently used interchangeably with "lawyer." These terms are generally acceptable unless specified otherwise.
Becoming a Lawyer
To become a lawyer in the U.S., one must earn a law degree after three years of full-time study at a law school (or four years part-time). The course names can differ across states and countries. A bachelor's degree is required before admission to law school. Before practicing, lawyers must pass the bar exam in their state and may need additional practice experience if moving to another state.
Professional Remuneration
Under the attorney's lien, lawyers are entitled to reasonable fees from their clients, although they must also provide some pro bono services. Successful attorneys, often of international repute, can command high fees from both corporate and individual clients. For those willing to work diligently, this can be a highly rewarding career.
Lawyers' Obligations
Lawyers have crucial obligations to their clients. First, they cannot arbitrarily stop representing a client without court permission. Second, they must not disclose case details to third parties while representing their clients. This confidentiality is essential for protecting clients from powerful opponents and unscrupulous practices.
Credit Lawyers
Credit lawyers advise on maintaining a good credit rating and managing spending. This guidance can help individuals avoid needing credit repair services in the future.
Conclusion
So, with all these significant responsibilities, why are lawyers often the butt of jokes? The answer remains an enduring mystery.
