A professional person with a graduate law degree that qualifies for legal work (such as Juris Doctor).
Mr. Wells was a pleasant man of middle-age, with keen eyes, and the typical lawyer’s mouth.
"lawyer" means: A professional person with a graduate law degree that qualifies for legal work (such as Juris Doctor).. This is technical or formal vocabulary, more likely to appear in school work, news or a particular profession than in peer chat. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your child uses the term, it is usually a sign of curiosity about a subject area. A short follow-up question about where they came across it is usually all that is needed.
"lawyer" means: A professional person with a graduate law degree that qualifies for legal work (such as Juris Doctor).. Register: formal or technical English, standard in its specialist domain (law, medicine, science, finance, etc.). Gloss the term with a plain synonym when writing for a general audience. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
