What Is a Lawyer?

A lawyer is a licensed professional who advises and represents others in the courtroom.

What Are a Lawyer's Duties?

A lawyer has two core functions:

1. To uphold the law and protect the client's rights at the same time

2. To understand the law and be an effective communicator

Legal Requirements to Be a Lawyer

Lawyers must go through law school. Every state has standards that must be met before a person can be licensed to practice law.

Before being able to practice law in most states, a student must pass a fitness and character review. To be considered for a law license, you must be approved by a committee that investigates background and character.

Lawyers must also:

  • Have a bachelor's degree or its equivalent
  • Complete three or more years at an American Bar Association-accredited law school
  • Pass a state bar test, which can last as long as two or three days; these exams test knowledge in the selected area of law.
  • Take an oath to support the laws and the state and federal constitutions
  • Receive a final license from the highest court in the state (state Supreme Court)
