Lawyer A lawyer, according to Black's Law
Dictionary , is "a person learned in the law; as an
attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person who is practicing
law.“ Law is the system of rules of conduct established
by the sovereign government of a society to correct
wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social
authority, and deliver justice. Working as a lawyer
involves the practical application of abstract legal
theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized
problems, or to advance the interests of
those who retain (i.e., hire) lawyers to perform legal
services.

The Village Lawyer, c. 1621, by Pieter
        Brueghel the Younger
The British-Kazakh Law Association (BKLA) is being re-
  launched to encourage the development of stronger links
    between lawyers in the United Kingdom and lawyers in
    Kazakhstan, to facilitate the exchange of legal and best
practice experiences between lawyers in the United Kingdom
                   and lawyers in Kazakhstan.
Leonardo da Vinci, Esq.
     was multi-talented.
 Besides having a busy law
  practice, he was also an
  artist and inventor. His
 most famous case was in
defense of himself. M. Lisa
     vs. da Vinci (Italian
    Superior Court 1513)
involved a product liability
   suit over a painting Da
    Vinci delivered to the
           Plaintiff.
Lawyers became so popular during this period that they
  were able to heavily influence the kings of Britain,
   France, and Germany. After a Turkish corporation
   stiffed the largest and oldest English law firm, the
partners of the firm convinced these kings to start a bill
   crusade, sending collection knights all the way to
               Jerusalem to seek payment.

  authority to draft wills, trusts, and any other
documents that ensure the efficient disposition
of a person's property after death. In some civil
 law countries this responsibility is handled by
