No. A law graduate is not automatically a lawyer. A lawyer is someone who practices some form of advocacy involving law and has been admitted to the bar of at least one jurisdiction. Ironically, because of the way a lawyer is defined, many law professors are not lawyers. Indeed, even some judges are not technically lawyers.
Many individuals with law degrees pursue other careers. Many go into politics or finance, for instance.
