they can enforce and have their own practice
Attorneys go before government
An Attorney prosecutes trials for the District Attorneys office while a lawyer can do anything from lawsuits and divorce to criminal defense
make more money
Because attorney work closely to government.
Just felt right?
There are Lawyer jokes but no Attorney jokes.
Interpret law as it pertains to a particular situation.
Because they can appear in court.
Jurisdiction
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."
idk
Lawyers are general practitioners (as a primary care doctor)and attorneys are specialized practitioners (as a medical specialist)
Because they are more specialized and therefor more prestigious.
final say
THEY REPRESENT THE RIGHTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Because an attorney enforces the law, whereas a lawyer advises and begs for the law to be enforced.
Because I am one :)
they took the bar exam
because they can stand for the state
Attorneys seem to serve the community whereas lawyers seem to serve their personal purse strings.
because a lawyer may have a limit where as a attorney have the knowledge to assist any situation and make huge decisions
