so in other words, you only know theory and are pretty clueless when it comes to the laws pragmatic application in a court

i see

let me rephrase: have you ever argued a case in a COURT of law?

Oh... attourney is someone who is allowed through loicense to represent other people and entities

And lawyer is actually anyone who practices the law (with or without loicense)

If you look up the etymology of the word "attorney," it comes from "attorn," which means "to turn over." An attorney is someone who basically represents a bankrupt entity (which is all of you). Basically, an officer of the court who has to follow certain rules, and if you go against those rules, you're punished. Again, it's like a guild or a racket. This is why they don't like people representing themselves or others unless they're a member, cuz it takes money from them.

is it like an engineer vs a technician?

nah, that is different

ppl trained in ME are engineers, ppl trained in MET are fake-engineers that we call technicians

attourney is from french and means something "man on bhalf of another"

not always

An attorney is more like a trustee. Someone you turn over property to for their management.

I always make fun of my MET friends and call them fake-engineers

i know those with certain EET degrees who have their PE

really fun

A lawyer is just someone who knows the law

@ManAnimal yeah, but u have to take a hard exam

which... basically tests your knowledge of ME

not MET

yup; and practice 8 yrs professionally before taking it

but not all MET programs are the same

That's why it's called representation. As opposed to the genuine thing. When you use an attorney, you're turning over your person, your rights, to their care. A lawyer is more like an advisor.

some are ME equivalent

fun fact the dprks military budget is smaller than the NYPD

What are MET and EET?

@Marushia Dark can you have someone who isn't certified but you personally know represent you?

Mechanical engineer technician?

Mechanical Engineering Technology

Electrical Engineering Technology

I see

yup; sometimes a 2 yr associates (tech)

basically

I wish I knew more ME

sometimes a 4 yr

And electronicles

the ones with 'T' dont know maths or theoretical nearly as much

wrong

SOME

correct

@Coolitic The courts won't allow it. My teachers and I have tried and they REALLY don't like that. Think of it like this. You're a doctor and know how to save lives, but you don't have a license so you get in trouble if you try to help, even if you're honest and skilled.

want to see my degree?
