| Types Of Lawyers |
| Many people think lawyers are all the same but the truth is there are many different types of lawyers and many of them have very different kinds of jobs. The largest division among types of lawyers is transactional lawyers vs. litigators. Transactional lawyers handle transactions such as business incorporations, real estate deals, contracts, formation of partnerships, wills, adoptions, immigration, and other similar needs. Transactional lawyers do not get involved in trials, they just help people with procedural needs. |
The second main division in types of lawyers is among litigators. Litigators are types of lawyers who go to court and get involved in trials, and they’re divided between criminal lawyers and civil lawyers. Although there are some people that practice in both areas, most lawyers stick to one or another of these types of law practices. |
| All lawyers start out basically the same. Few law schools have specialty tracks, though some allow a concentration in some areas. Specialization occurs after law school. The only type of lawyer that is actually licensed differently is the Patent Attorney, who must pass the Patent Bar as well as the standard state bar exam. |
