FAQ
The primary difference between the responsibilities and duties of a lawyer vs. advocate is that a lawyer has less experience and might not represent clients in courts. Comparatively, advocates are more qualified in legal matters and can represent their clients.
Client privilege The Advocate has a duty to keep confidential the information received from and advice given to the client. Unauthorised disclosure of client confidential information is professional misconduct.
The establishment of the attorney-client relationship involves two elements: a person seeks advice or assistance from an attorney; and the attorney appears to give, agrees to give or gives the advice or assistance.
Lawyer: A lawyer is a person who has completed an undergraduate law degree, typically a Bachelor of Law (LLB) degree. Advocate: An advocate is a lawyer who has completed additional postgraduate training at the Kenya School of Law, including a diploma in the legal field, and has successfully passed nine courses.
Professional Ethics: Most legal ethical codes strongly discourage or outright prohibit lawyers from engaging in romantic relationships with clients during representation. This is to maintain professional boundaries and ensure that the lawyer-client relationship is based solely on the client's legal needs.
The role of an advocate is to offer independent support to those who feel they are not being heard and to ensure they are taken seriously and that their rights are respected.
The Advocate is an officer of the court and has a duty of fidelity to the law. Therefore the Advocate shall discharge his/her duty to represent the client in adversarial proceedings as well as in non- contentious matters by fair and honourable means and without illegality or subversion of the due processes of the law.
California courts have held that an attorney-client relationship can only be created by contract.
