Lawyer vs Attorney vs Law Student
First, of course, a law student is someone who is in law school. This person is not yet a lawyer or attorney, but rather in training to become one or both.

Second, we have lawyers. These special creatures are those who have successfully completed and graduated from law school. They may provide legal advice, but cannot represent a client in a court of law.

Third, and finally, we come to attorneys. An attorney is a lawyer who has not only graduated from law school but has also passed the state bar exam to be licensed to practice law.

So an attorney is a lawyer, but a lawyer is not an attorney unless they have passed the bar exam. And a law student is in training to become a lawyer upon graduation.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

The most impressive part about being a lawyer is the ability to argue without crying.

Difference between Power of Attorney and Letter of Authority:

Both, Power of Attorney and Letter of Authority are used to give someone else power or authority to do something on your behalf. The main difference between the two is the fact that while the Letter of Authority gives someone authority to act on behalf of someone for a specific manner, the Power of Attorney gives someone total power to act, speak or make decisions on their behalf.

Deference between lawyer & advocate:

There is no such big difference. Lawyer is the one who has Law degree in hands & when that person starts practicing law becomes Advocate.
