¿Sabías qué?

Hay una diferencia entre un abogado y un procurador. Aunque se usan indistintamente, existe una diferencia técnica entre ellos.

En pocas palabras, todos los procuradores son abogados, pero no todos los abogados son procuradores. Un abogado es una persona que ha aprendido y se ha formado en derecho. Está calificado para brindar asesoramiento legal, aunque no necesariamente ejerce en los tribunales.

Un procurador, por otro lado, es un abogado que ejerce en los tribunales. Ha tomado y aprobado el examen "BAR" y, por lo tanto, está calificado para defender o enjuiciar en los tribunales.

Did you know?

There is a difference between a lawyer and an attorney. Although interchangeably used, there exists a technical difference between them.

To put it simply, all attorneys are lawyers, but not all lawyers are attorneys. A lawyer is a person who has learned and trained in law. He is qualified to give legal advice, though he does not necessarily practice in court.

An attorney or an attorney-at-law, on the other hand, is a lawyer who practices in court. He has taken and passed the bar exam, and hence is qualified to defend or prosecute in court.
