How to Draft a Demand Letter

The True Value of Law School


What is Legal Tech?
An attorney or attorney at law is also a lawyer. They have attended law school and
presumably practice the study of law as a career. However, attorneys by
definition have passed a bar examination and have been admitted to practice law in the
particular jurisdiction. They may go beyond the realm of lawyer and provide legal
representation to an individual. The relationship is more than merely providing the
factual state of the law and delves into providing strategy for the clients needs in
reference to the law. An attorney can also appear in court and other settings on behalf
of a client. An attorney is also a lawyer, but a lawyer may not necessarily be an attorney.
Want to complicate matters more? The term esquire is also a source of confusion in the
legal world, thanks in part to its use in the United Kingdom. In the UK, esquire is an
unofficial title of respect or honor. It is used not only for barristers and solicitors (two
other terms for lawyers/attorneys in Great Britain), but is also an honor bestowed upon
doctors and Ph.D. graduates. However, in the United States, esquire has become,
almost exclusively, a title used by attorneys. Some states, in the prosecution for
unauthorized practice cases, have used as evidence the fact that the a non-lawyer signed
documents with Esquire behind his/her name in order to hold themselves out to the
public as an attorney. However, no court in the United States has ever convicted an
individual for unauthorized practice of law merely for using esquire. In cases where the
party was guilty and esquire was a factor, he was doing other things that amounted to
unauthorized practice of law.
