When someone says Law, lawyers are what first comes to mind. They assist in defending a party in the court of law. In more defined terms, lawyers are those who know the governing body's laws and help fight and protect people in various ways. In many places, to be a lawyer you must be licensed. Other words for lawyers are attorney, advocate, and even solicitor.

When a Law (a rule made by a higher power) is broken, often those who break them must present themselves infront of a judge and a jury, where their fate will be determined, this meaning whether or not they accused committed the crime or not, and if committed, what is the suitable punishment. Often times lawyer is present representing each side (the accused and accuser, often called the defendant and plaintiff). Many times, lawyers don't got to court. Their cases are settled through other means, like divorce attorneys and their clients get together and figure out a settlement instead of going to court.

Some common lawyers that are heard of would be injury lawyers (those that fight for injured on the job or another cause), divorce lawyers (representatives of two parties for a divorce settlement), or more over criminal lawyers (lawyers that fight with or against criminals). A better list of the types of lawyers would be:

Divorce Lawyers
Civil Lawyers
Bankruptcy Lawyers
Family Lawyers
Criminal Lawyers
Accident Lawyers
Malpractice Lawyers
Immigration Lawyers
Personal Injury Lawyers
Tax Lawyers (click here for an example)
Class Action

An actual list would probably be a lot bigger, but there are SO many kinds of lawyers.
