law agent

Read a random definition: Volunteers in Service to America

A quick definition of law agent:

A law agent is a type of lawyer in the United Kingdom who helps clients with legal matters and prepares legal documents, but is not usually allowed to argue cases in the High Court or Court of Session unless given special permission. In Scotland, a law agent is the same as a solicitor. They are different from barristers, who are lawyers that argue cases in court. Law agents can also refer to prosecutors in some places, and can be called special agents in the context of insurance.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A law agent is a person who conducts legal matters on behalf of another person or entity. In Scotland, a law agent is the same as a solicitor.

Examples:

  • A lawyer who prepares legal documents and consults with clients, but is not allowed to argue in court without special permission.
  • A prosecutor in some jurisdictions, such as South Carolina.

These examples illustrate how a law agent can work in different legal roles, such as a lawyer who provides legal advice and prepares documents, or a prosecutor who represents the government in criminal cases. In Scotland, a law agent is the same as a solicitor, who can represent clients in court.

Glad you're back dk lmao. If you read the actual article, it's that his day one EO's are wildly unpopular (for instance the majority of americans support birthright citizenship). He can have won the popular vote and still do unpopular stuff

I lean conservative and for a long time was one of those people who thought that he was bad but wasn't a facist and that sort of rhetoric was over-reactive. And for those reasons I voted for Harris, but I think I was underestimating him by far.
