Hebrew to English translations [PRO] Law/Patents - Law (general)
Hebrew term or phrase:עורך דין
But hold on before you jump:...
I need to know the difference between all the English terms (lawyer, advocate, attorney) as they refer to an Israeli עורך דין (with a certificate from the bar).
Explanation: A lawyer is a person with a degree in law
In the UK lawyers are divided into two main categories
1. Solicitor - one who offers legal advice to clients and may present petitions to the lower courts but is not a member of the bar (British)
2. Barrister - is a lawyer who has passed the bar examnitions and is qualified to represent client in a court.
A solicitor will refer his own clients to barristers appropriate barristers depending on teh type of litigation required.
Yes, I think the target audience needs to be considered.
Many Israeli lawyers - מוישה איציק, עו"ד - style themselves Moishe Itzik, Adv. (or Advocate). I hate this, although I have sometimes been instructed to translate it like that.
Hi,
This refers to the signature of the עורך דין at the end of a תמצית רישום in a company report. Should an Israeli עורך דין (or the translator) give him/herself a different title depending whom s/he's addressing (UK vs. US)?
