A lawyer is a person learned in the law and thus licensed
(1). Lawyers do not so much "know the law" as they are familiar with
(2) and able to find specific norms and statutes applicable to a particular situation.
As a rule the lawyer performs several functions: investigator, drafter, (3), advisor, and advocate. And he is usually permitted to carry out the following responsibilities:
214
-arguing (4) before a judge or jury in a court of law;
-performing extensive (5) while drafting legal papers and preparing for oral argument;

For example in England there are (13), with separate jobs in the legal system: solicitors and barristers. Practicing solicitors are consulted by, and receive instructions from clients on a wide variety of matters both (14). In cases of unusual difficulty the solicitor takes his instructions from the client, prepares a brief and approaches a barrister to give an «opinion» or represent the client at the trial, because only barristers have (15) in the higher courts. A barrister must be a member of (16), which traditionally educated and regulated barristers.
In order to practice law in the USA, one must first be "admitted to (17)" in an individual state. This entails passing (18). Generally, state bar examiners require evidence of three qualities in exam candidates: sufficient (19) at the undergraduate level; sufficient US (20); and sufficient knowledge of local bar requirements. Part of the licensing process involves the assessment by bar examiners of an applicant’s (21) to engage in the practice of law.
Lawyers are paid for their work in a variety of ways. Lawyers working directly on the payroll of governments, nonprofits, and corporations usually earn (22). In private practice, they may work for an hourly fee, (23), or a lump sum payment if the matter is straightforward. In many countries there are fee-shifting arrangements by which (24) must pay the winner's fees and costs.

14.2. SCANNING
Labour Law
1. Labour law is the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents which address the legal rights of, and restrictions on, working people and their organizations. As such, it mediates
many aspects of the relationship between trade unions, employers and employees.
2.In general, there are two broad categories of labour law. First, collective labour law relates to the three-party relationship between employee, employer and union. It mostly concerns the inequality of bargaining power between employers and workers. Second, individual labour law concerns employees' rights at work and conditions and terms of employment.
3.The basic feature of individual labour law is that the rights
and obligations of the worker and the employer between one another are mediated through the contract of employment between the two. Many terms and conditions of the contract are however implied by legislation or common law, in such a way as to restrict the freedom of people to agree to certain things in order to protect employees, and facilitate a fluid labour market.
4. Thus employees have certain rights enforceable by law:
o the right of fair treatment regardless of age, race, religion, gender, or disabilities;
o the right to equal treatment, also with regard to wages;
o the right not to be dismissed without proper cause and the correct procedures;
o the right not to be dismissed for giving birth to a child;
othe right for compensation when employees are retrenched.
5.The central concept in collective labour law is "collective bar-
gaining" which means negotiations between employers and employees
