My husband in a lawyer. How wonderful is his practical  application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems
Is legal knowledge and experience are very important  
Of course yes and they have a role that varies greatly across legal jurisdictions, and so it can be treated here in only the most general terms.
Sorry. I meant to say his
Okay. The term lawyer that we use usually varies from  place to place.
Really? I think they are the same. It's just that some people call it attorney 
Yes, they have different name any where. But in general they are people that  practices law, as a paralegal, advocate, barrister, attorney, counselor, solicitor, or chartered legal executive.
That is true
At the upper side of the ladder. they are called Legal executives. And they are a form of trained persons in the legal professional in certain jurisdictions.
OK. So legal executives are the bosses?
