Definition

  • Lawyers exist in every modern society and perform essential work within each legal system. Nevertheless, the fundamental variation around the world in how the legal occupation is defined, organized, and regulated, along with the sheer variety of legal tasks performed within any particular system, makes generalizations in this field difficult and potentially misleading.
