Lawyer Career Details
It is the responsibility of a lawyer (also called an attorney) to know the law and interpret it for his or her client. In a criminal court, a lawyer may work for the state as a prosecutor, bringing forth evidence that a suspect committed a crime. On the other side, a defense attorney will try to prove that their client was on the right side of the law.
In civil suits, lawyers meet with other lawyers and their clients to settle an argument out of court. These meetings often involve differing interpretations of contracts, or a wrong committed that can be settled with a cash payment.
