« Back to Glossary Index

As defined in the legal profession acts and the legal profession uniform law, an Australian lawyer is a person who has been admitted to the legal profession and is entitled to practice as a lawyer. This necessarily includes all judges, barristers and solicitors, but it does not include a person who merely holds a law degree.
