A white guy you pay to convince the judge/jury that you didn't do it. Urban Dictionary

A student in the laws of a sovereign body. To become a lawyer one must study the basics of the law for a specified period than pass a difficult proficiency examination. Urban Dictionary

A zealous advocate acting as an agent for a client. The duty to the client is a fiduciary duty, the highest duty the law can impose. As a result of this duty a lawyer is required to obtain extensive knowledge of the law along with a high level of legal research and analysis skills. Another result of the fiduciary duty is that the attorney must act in the client's best interest regardless of personal interests or moral objections. The lawyer must use any tool given by the law to ensure the most attractive outcome for the client, including technicalities and vague language. Urban Dictionary

A person who knows about the law, the loopholes in the law, and the Constitution (the Constitution has no loopholes), and will use any and all of the above to get you out of whatever stupid ass mess that your stupid ass got you into. You will love this person, until you pay them, when you will hate them, but at least you will be out of jail, unless you lost. A lawyer typically is an unhappy looking nerd typing on a blackberry, unless they work for the government, in which case they are harder to pinpoint. Urban Dictionary

A soon-to-be politician. Urban Dictionary

Proffessional bullshit artist. Urban Dictionary

A person who's authorized to lie Urban Dictionary

A teenager with severe mental issues Urban Dictionary

An individual who studies the legal system and then applies what he has learned according to his best interests completely absent of moral accountability for these actions. These objectives are achieved by manipulation of ambiguous rules and exploitation of technicalities while the individual is protected by claims or a moral/ethical duty to zealously advocate his or her client's position. In other words, one who uses the legal system to his or her advantage without having to feel guilty about the results of his actions. For example, the most applauded/rich defense attorneys are not rewarded for seeing that justice is done, but by insuring that it is not. Urban Dictionary

A moral/intellectual mercenary. A lawyer will align himself to any cause, and will say anything regardless of truth and logic, provided it makes him money. It falls to lawyers to imprison the innocent and free the guilty. The job is lower than prostitution. Urban Dictionary
