Whats the difference between a lawyer and an attorney ?

is there a diffeence between them do both of them have the same power or authority or their the exact same thing LAWYER AND ATTORNEY..

---

In common parlance (common usage), there is no difference.

In some states, one refers to a person licensed by THAT state to practice law, while the other refers to a person licensed in ANY state to practice law.

But the usage is not consistent, and either could be defined either way based on the state laws.

old question, do a search.

same thing

Two words that mean the same thing. In a few rare instances, people in the legal profession use 'lawyer' to mean a graduate of a law school who is not licensed to practice law, and 'attorney' to denote a person who is licensed to practice law. However, that is not uniformly done and the terms are even reversed in some jurisdictions.
