Law/Patents - Law (general)
English term or phrase: advocate/ solicitor
I need two different translations for each term, not just محام for both. In the UK, advocates are usually lawyers who represent defendants in criminal (Crown) courts. A solicitor represents people in all kinds of situations.

محامي - ممثل دفاع


Explanation:
المصطلح الأول يعني محامي أو مدافع عن شخص أو حقوق وليس مقتصرا على القانون بل يستخدم في جميع المجالات. بينما المصطلح الثاني يعني محامي بالمعنى القانوني ويستخدم أكثر في انجلترا ونادرا في الولايات المتحدة.
