because a lawyer may have a limit where as a attorney have the knowledge to assist any situation and make huge decisions
Attorneys seem to serve the community whereas lawyers seem to serve their personal purse strings.
because they can stand for the state
they took the bar exam
Because I am one :)
Because an attorney enforces the law, whereas a lawyer advises and begs for the law to be enforced.
THEY REPRESENT THE RIGHTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
final say
Because they are more specialized and therefor more prestigious.
Lawyers are general practitioners (as a primary care doctor)and attorneys are specialized practitioners (as a medical specialist)
idk
Seems that Attorneys are put into exclusive, high-earning positions with companies or powerful clients. Lawyers can be successful, but could have a harder time of it given their geographic location or field.
You never hear the rich people in movies saying, "you'll hear from my lawyer.." it's always.."You'll be hearing from my attorney."
Jurisdiction
Because they can appear in court.
Interpret law as it pertains to a particular situation.
There are Lawyer jokes but no Attorney jokes.
Just felt right?
Because attorney work closely to government.
make more money
An Attorney prosecutes trials for the District Attorneys office while a lawyer can do anything from lawsuits and divorce to criminal defense
Attorneys go before government
they can enforce and have their own practice
