Get the lawyermug. An individual who studies the legal system and then applies what he has learned according to his best interests completely absent of moral accountability for these actions. These objectives are achieved by manipulation of ambiguous rules and exploitation of technicalities while the individual is protected by claims or a moral/ethical duty to zealously advocate his or her client's position.
In other words, one who uses the legal system to his or her advantage without having to feel guilty about the results of his actions. For example, the most applauded/rich defense attorneys are not rewarded for seeing that justice is done, but by insuring that it is not.

Get the lawyermug. A moral/intellectual mercenary. A lawyer will align himself to any cause, and will say anything regardless of truth and logic, provided it makes him money. It falls to lawyers to imprison the innocent and free the guilty.

Get the lawyermug. A person expert in the rules of government that give structure to a society. Often useful and a requirement of modern life. In the US the number of lawyers has proliferated beyond all reasonable need and they often collude to make work for each other (see: Congress). Have a bad reputation due to overly exhorbitant fees and a number of highly publicized cases where a lawyer does not serve his client properly.
My wife fell and broke her arm in the supermarket because they left a trap door open. I guess I'll need a lawyer.
Some lawyer befriended my grandmother and got her to change her will on her death bed cutting off the charities she was going to leave her estate to and leave it to him instead.
