What challenges do lawyers face?

Answer 1

Answer:
They have a set of rules which allow them to overcome challenges. Available options depend on the jurisdiction

Answer:
Objections can be made based on the interpretation of the law, previous decisions on the interpretation of the law, and previous case law. e.g. A law stating that "No man shall ..." could be argued as not being applicable to women or children.

Objections can be made to the methods by which evidence is obtained.

Objections can be made if testimony presented is coerced, untrue or mistaken.

Objections can be made if evidence is not correctly developed (results of scientific tests) or for which unsupportable conclusions have been drawn.

Expert testimony can be objected t if the "expert" is presenting outside of his field of expertise.

Comment:

I don't interpret the question as asking about court procedure. I interpret the question as asking how lawyers overcome the challenges they face in the practise of law.

Lawyers are held to very high standards. Practising law can be extremely stressful. Lawyers too often face their challenges alone.

It is not well known, but lawyers (and judges too) have a very high rate of Alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide, a rate that is several times that of the general public.

While most jurisdictions have some programs in place to help lawyers, few have comprehensive ones, let alone empathetic ones.

Answer

In England in the UK - a lawyer or solicitor has many years of training before being able to qualify as a practising lawyer. This includes an extremely difficult Law degree (typically 3 years), A post Qualification course (1 year - formerly the LSF and now the LPC - the LSF was recognised in the Times as the second hardest exam in the world after a NASA exam), 2 years as a trainee solicitor with at least experience in 3 different areas of law (whilst also completing an additional course known as the PSC) and finally qualification if the Law Society deems the experience as sufficient. It is generally accepted that on qualification a Lawyer starts to learn his / her trade and every year must face 16 hours of additional training known as CPD points.

All of this training and experience allows a lawyer to have a certain technical, problem solving and large work processing ability that helps cope with the challenges in the workplace.

Answer 2

A lawyers biggest challenge is gathering evidence to prove his case. Without gathering enough of the right evidence, a lawyer risks losing the case.
