Attorney

An attorney at law (also known simply as an attorney or lawyer) in the United States is a person licensed to practice law by the highest court of a state or other jurisdiction. Alternative terms include attorney-at-law and attorney and counselor (or counsellor) at law.

The American legal system has a united (or fused) legal profession, and does not draw a distinction between lawyers who plead in court and those who do not. Many other common law jurisdictions, as well as some civil law jurisdictions, have a separation, such as the solicitor and barrister/advocate split in the United Kingdom and the advocate/civil law notary split in France. There is also no delegation of routine work to notaries public or their civil law equivalent.

Comparison: attorney-in-fact and attorney-at-law

Broadly speaking, an "attorney" is one who acts on behalf of another person in some capacity. For example, an "attorney-in-fact" is akin to an agent who acts on behalf of another person -- typically with respect to business, property, or personal matters -- and who does not have to be licensed to practice law or to have any other license from the government. The term power of attorney relates to an attorney-in-fact, not an attorney-at-law, but in common usage, that is an exceptional use of the word "attorney," which nearly always refers to an attorney-at-all. Alternative titles for "power of attorney" type documents in non-U.S. jurisdictions include the French "Pouvoir" and the German "Vollmacht".

By contrast an attorney-at-law, or lawyer, is a person trained and licensed by a relevant jurisdiction to practice law — to represent clients in legal matters (both in and out of court), and to give legal advice. In the United States, the term attorney, standing alone, is generally intended to have this meaning (and not to mean "attorney-in-fact"). The term "attorney-in-fact" is mostly seen in the context of someone representing another person's interest in business negotiations or regarding signature pages on documents where the person signing is doing so on the basis of a power of attorney.

Comparison: attorney-at-law and Attorney General

The term Attorney General is used to designate the chief law enforcement officer of a state or other political jurisdiction. The attorney general is a lawyer who represents the government, prosecutes criminal cases, defends the government from lawsuits against it, and brings civil lawsuits to enforce consumer protection, antitrust, and other laws.

Comparison to older U.S. terminology and non-U.S. terminology

In common law jurisdictions outside the United States (e.g., England, Canada, Australia), attorney is incorrect as a general term, and lawyer or solicitor is used instead. However, in these areas, the specific terms crown attorney, power of attorney, and Attorney General, are used. In intellectual property, patent attorney is commonly used.

In earlier times, some states, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court, maintained a divided legal profession, as can still be found in the United Kingdom, consisting of attorneys (who practised in courts of equity), solicitors (who practised in courts of law) and barristers, also known as counsel, whom solicitors and attorneys instructed to appear in the higher courts. In deference to this practice, when an attorney at law is admitted to practice in some states, his or her certificate of admission bears the title Attorney and Counsellor-at-Law in recognition of his inheritance of both of these roles.

Some attorneys use the post-nominal Esq., the abbreviated form of the word Esquire.

The job of an attorney

Once admitted to practice by the highest court of a state (a function sometimes administered by the state's bar association), an American attorney may file legal pleadings and argue cases in any court in that state (except federal courts, which usually require a separate admission), provide legal advice to clients, and draft important legal documents (such as wills, trusts, deeds, and contracts). American attorneys use the term lawyering to refer to the art of practicing law.

In some states, real estate closings may be performed only by attorneys, even though the attorney's role in a closing may involve primarily notarization of documents and disbursement of settlement funds through an escrow account.

Practicing law includes interviewing a client to identify the legal question, analyzing the question, researching relevant law, devising legal solutions to problems, and executing such solutions through specific tasks such as drafting a contract or filing a motion with a court.

Most academic legal training is directed to identifying legal issues, researching facts and law, and arguing both the facts and law in favor of either side in any case.

Media images

Contrary to the media image of attorneys, a certain portion of litigation and regulatory legal work requires hours of in-depth research in a law library or in an electronic database like Westlaw or LexisNexis. Few television programs and movies accurately portray the long nights surrounded by a pile of books or printouts which form the core of the occupational life of many attorneys in these practice areas, nor the fact that attorneys have among the highest rates of depression of any occupation.

One occasional exception is the television program Law & Order, which sometimes shows the main characters researching at a computer late into the night (always using Westlaw, due to a contract between Westlaw and the show's producers). Some episodes also show lawyers keeping a small rack of clothes in their office for those times when research lasts all night and the character does not have time to go home to change.

Another notable portrayal of the profession was the series Murder One which focused on the lawyers (and the law office) as central characters. The Practice did as well, but its accuracy may be questionable.

Movies and television also do not show the stressful "juggling" aspect of a typical litigation practice; most litigators have many cases in progress at any given time. Each case has deadlines that must be carefully monitored, and court dates which one must not forget to attend. The opposition in any case can serve additional motions that will further complicate things. Repeated failures to attend to details—or indeed, even a single mistake, in some instances—can lead to malpractice suits or being disbarred.

In litigation, attorneys spend much time discovering the facts of the case to develop a "theory of the case" that integrates facts and law in a way most favorable to their client. The discovery phase (in the United States) of a case sometimes turns into an unpleasant war of attrition over petty technicalities.

In addition, the largest group of attorneys specializes in activities that never involve them in litigation, such as writing legal opinions, advising clients, structuring business transactions, negotiating and drafting contracts, preparing tax strategies, and preparing and prosecuting filings with government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Patent and Trademark Office. It can be rare for such attorneys to appear in court, and even to wear a suit or a tie, though this reality is all but absent in media depictions of attorneys.

The economic position of attorneys

A fair number of attorneys are unemployed or underemployed. The phenomenon of many lawyers being unemployed, underemployed, or paid at relatively low wages may be a consequence of changes actively pursued, including by the American Bar Association (ABA), starting in the 1960s. Many in the profession had determined that legal services would remain difficult or impossible to attain for the less well-off unless the supply of lawyers was increased relative to the demand for legal services. In sharp contrast with the medical profession and medical schools, the ABA has encouraged the creation and accreditation of new law schools since that time. In a peculiar irony, both the cost of obtaining legal services and that of obtaining health care have risen ahead of inflation. In a further twist the National Law Journal reported that starting pay at the nation’s biggest law firms (those with 501+ lawyers) in 2005 was proportionately at its lowest point in a decade. Associates received only 11.7% of the law firms’ profits per partner, the smallest percentage in the 1996-2005 time period.

The number of lawyers relative to the total population has more than doubled in the United States since 1970, from about one lawyer per 700 people to about one lawyer per 300 people, with the ratio continuing to rise. At the same time, the ABA and other organizations have fostered the rise of pro bono work, public service lawyering, and community lawyering, to try to extend the availability of legal services to all Americans. Government funding for public legal services at the federal and state levels has become significant. The ABA estimated in 2000 that about one third of the total demand for legal services in the United States was being met. At the same time, the demand for high-priced legal services, particularly by large corporations, which was already being well met before the dramatic expansion of the lawyer population, has grown much less quickly than the supply of lawyers. Partly as a consequence, many lawyers are still struggling to find jobs. There is an increasing trend towards off-shoring legal services, further exacerbating the problem for lawyers in the U.S.

Specialization

Many American attorneys limit their practices to specialized fields of law. Often dichotomies are drawn between different types of attorneys, but these are neither fixed nor formal lines.

Examples include:

  • Plaintiff v. Defense Attorneys (some attorneys do both plaintiff and defense work, others only handle certain types of cases, like personal injury, business, etc.)
  • Transactional (or "office practice") attorneys (who negotiate and draft documents and advise clients, rarely going to court) v. "litigators" (who advise clients in the context of legal disputes both in and out of court, including lawsuits, arbitrations and negotiated settlements)
  • Trial attorneys (who argue the facts, such as Johnnie Cochran) v. appellate attorneys (who argue the law, such as David Boies)
  • Outside counsel (law firms) v. in-house counsel (corporate legal department)

Despite these descriptions, most states forbid or discourage claims of specialization in particular areas of law unless the attorney has been certified by his or her state bar or state board of legal specialization. Other states allow indirect indications of specialization (in forms of advertisements such as "our practice is limited to . . .") but require that the lawyer state that he or she is not certified by a state board of legal specialization in the advertised practice area. Patent attorneys are allowed to advertise their specialization in all jurisdictions, since registration for patent law is administered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) instead of a state-level body.

Some states grant formal certifications recognizing specialties. In California, for example, bar certification is offered in family law, appellate practice, criminal law, bankruptcy, estate planning, immigration, taxation and workmen's compensation. Any attorney meeting the bar requirements in one of these fields may represent himself as a specialist. Similarly, Texas formally grants certification of specialization in the following fields: administrative law; business bankruptcy law; civil appellate law; civil trial law; consumer bankruptcy law; consumer & commercial law; criminal law; estate planning & probate law; family law; health law; immigration & nationality law; juvenile law; labor & employment law; oil, gas & mineral law; personal injury trial law; real estate law; tax law; and workers' compensation law.

The vast majority of lawyers practicing in a particular field may typically not be certified as specialists in that field (and state board certification is not generally required to practice law in any field). For example, the State Bar of Texas (as of mid 2006) reported 77,056 persons licensed as attorneys in that state (excluding inactive members of the Bar), while the Texas Board of Legal Specialization reported, at about the same time, only 8,303 Texas attorneys who were board certified in any specialty. Indeed, of the 8,303 certified specialists in Texas, the highest number of attorneys certified in one specific field at that time was 1,775 (in personal injury trial law). Despite the relative large number of lawyers that presumably would handle divorce, adoption and child custody matters, Texas reported that of 77,056 attorneys, only 697 in the entire state were certified in family law (which is, arguably, the applicable specialty).

Specialization in patent law is administered by the Office of Enrollment and Discipline of the USPTO, which imposes stringent requirements for applicants to become registered as patent attorneys or patent agents.

About half of American attorneys work solo or in small firms. There are also many midsize firms, with anywhere from 50 to 200 attorneys, and since the 1970s, some law firms have merged to form giant "megafirms" with 1,000 attorneys or more.

Control of cases

An American attorney licensed in each applicable court may in a few cases control and argue his or her case at each level of the judiciary through its entire lifecycle. A notable example of this is the Brown v. Board of Education litigation, where the same trial team handled the case from start to finish at the U.S. Supreme Court. However, cases which advance to the appellate level, particularly to the U.S. Supreme Court, are often re-assigned to experienced appellate practitioners or firms.

What is mediation? Mediation is one way for people to settle disputes or lawsuits outside of court. In mediation, a neutral third party - the mediator - helps the disputing parties look for a solution that works for them. Mediators, unlike judges, do not decide cases or impose settlements. The mediator's role is to help the people involved in a dispute to communicate and negotiate with each other in a constructive manner, to gain a better understanding of the interests of all parties, and to find a resolution based on common understanding and mutual agreement. The purpose of mediation is not to determine who wins and who loses, but to develop creative solutions to disputes in a way that is not possible at a trial.

Many people believe that if something happens and they are unable to make decisions for themselves, their family can do so for them. This is not necessarily true. For financial decisions, legal authority is needed. For personal care decisions such as where you live or what you eat, you can give legal authority by naming someone in a power of attorney for personal care. While it's very important to consider whether to make a power of attorney, you don't have to, and no one can make you sign one if you don't want to. But remember, if you don't make a power of attorney, someone may have to be formally appointed some day to make decisions for you, if the decisions involve matters other than medical treatment.

What is life as a lawyer like? Unlike the criminal defense lawyer Perry Mason, the average lawyer rarely goes to court but rather spends time doing research in a law library, talking to clients, and writing letters, legal arguments, or papers to be filed in court or an administrative agency. Much time is spent talking to other lawyers, either negotiating with an opponent or consulting with colleagues. Lawyers also participate in bar association activities or in community affairs, such as speaking to lay groups interested in legal issues. Many run for elective office or serve as judges.

What makes a good lawyer? Much of law is tedious, detail can be significant, and all lawyer's jobs require preparation. Many people find this ambiguity exhilarating; some find it terribly frustrating. A lawyer must be able to communicate easily and well in writing and in professional dialogue; they must be a good reader and a good listener. Not every lawyer, however, has to be a brilliant speaker.

There is just as much responsibility in handing down wealth as there is in inheriting it. Incentives in a trust or will can be motivators for beneficiaries to follow the giver’s wishes but only a minority incorporate any such language into their estate planning documents. Most inheritors of large amounts of money end up spending it all within two generations. Of course, there are plenty of ways to prevent that from happening. Some trusts require recipients to reach a certain age or successfully complete a college education before they receive any of their inheritance money. Others have included more-subjective strings, such as requiring an individual to hold a productive job, start a business or do certain work that is beneficial to society such as teaching or social work. Some wills and trusts have instructions that heirs avoid personally destructive behaviors, such as drug or alcohol use.

Education and training:

Legal education in the United States

Almost all U.S. jurisdictions require successful completion of a bar exam to be licensed as an attorney. All but a few of those states which require a bar exam also require the applicant to have taken a degree in professional law from an accredited law school. Most require it to be an American professional doctorate in law. A few states accept foreign law degrees. In addition to this formal education, attorneys in most jurisdictions must complete regular Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirements.

The State of Washington has a separate Law Clerk program under Rule Six of the Washington Court Admission to Practice Rules. A college graduate of good moral character may be accepted into the four-year Rule Six Law Clerk program, obtain employment in a law firm or with a judge for at least 30 hours a week, and study a proscribed Course of Study under a tutor. After successful completion of the Rule Six Law Clerk program, a law clerk may take the Washington State Bar Exam and, upon passing, will be admitted as an attorney into the Washington State Bar Association.

The degree earned by prospective attorneys in the United States is generally a Juris Doctor (J.D.), or Doctor of Jurisprudence. Historically, law was an undergraduate subject in the United States, as it still is in most other Anglophone countries, for which the LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) or other undergraduate degree (e.g., Cambridge awards the 'Bachelor of Arts in Law' or B.A.L.) was conferred. This undergraduate degree was followed by the LL.M. or Master of Laws and, where the LL.B. is still awarded, the highest degree is often still the LL.D. or Doctor of Laws. In the United States, however, the LL.B. was elevated to the graduate school curriculum starting in 1896 (Harvard), as a second Bachelor's degree; and then replaced by the professional doctorate in law - the J.D. or D.Jur. (when the degree is conferred in English) starting in 1902 (University of Chicago). By the end of the twentieth century, all ABA-accredited American law schools had replaced the LL.B. with the J.D./D.Jur.

The content of the J.D./D.Jur. curriculum is substantially the same as for a LL.B. curriculum, except that study for the doctoral level degree builds upon prior undergraduate education whereas the LL.B. is still an undergraduate degree, even in those few countries where it is conferred at graduate level as a second Bachelor's degree. As a professional doctorate, people who hold the J.D./D.Jur. are fully entitled to call themselves "Doctor," though most do not bother. The label "doctor" is an academic tradition, but the tradition in the American legal profession is to call all attorneys "Mr." or "Ms." regardless of their academic qualifications. A litigator with a Ph.D., a M.D., an Ed.D., a Psy.D., as well as a J.D. would still be addressed "Mr." or "Ms." while she or he was making an oral argument before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The LL.M., however, continues to be offered in the United States, sometimes as a type of specialist post
