The world of law is very broad and includes law firms or legal advice centres (including free ones) on the one hand and courts or various authorities on the other. In all cases, they are all graduates of the same field of study, i.e. law, the legal sciences offered by law schools. This is why, paradoxically, law school is for many applicants for higher education a “sure bet” – a gateway to an attractive and guaranteed career. Often, they are unaware of what a law graduate actually becomes and what kind of career they can achieve through their diligence. This is due to the fact that people often confuse the terms “lawyer”, “advocate” or “doctor of law”. These are very different categories.
A lawyer is a person who has received a law degree. Most of the time, we think of graduates from one of the four law schools in the country, not graduates from private universities. To make things less complicated, a lawyer who has already obtained the academic degree of Master of Laws (M.A.) can therefore obtain the additional academic degree of Doctor of Laws (J.D.). However, this is completely irrelevant to his qualifications and in no way reflects on the practical skills of the person concerned. Rather, it is a scientific discipline, a so-called small doctorate, which in other fields is usually a precursor to the so-called large doctorate (Ph.D.). This can be obtained by further, at least three years of further study. The degree of JUDr. therefore has nothing to do with the exercise of legal professions (especially in the field of advocacy and legal consulting) and its award is not a necessary or essential prerequisite for such activities. In the past, however, this title was awarded to graduates of law faculties without the need for further examinations or knowledge.
It is more important, however, to distinguish the term ‘lawyer’ from the term ‘ associate lawyer ‘.

The provision of legal services means, in particular, representation in proceedings before courts, administrative authorities and other bodies, defence in criminal cases, provision of legal advice, drafting of documents and preparation of legal analyses. Here, lawyers act as legal representatives of the client. Finally, advocacy is a field of human activity in which lawyers are professionally engaged (i.e., business) and which is governed by the law and the advocacy profession as well as by the code of ethics of advocates.
Therefore, it is advisable to always be aware of the difference between a solicitor and a lawyer and not be duped by an uninsured self-proclaimed legal “expert”.
