When you are referring to a specific piece of legislation, the name of the act should be capitalized. When you are referring to a general body of law, such as contract law, criminal law. property law, etc., it is not capitalized.

I think so yeah. See People who care about law capitalizes law in sentences, but people who don't care about law doesn't. You don't have to if you don't want to I think. I don't because I don't really care, but I think you have to :]

The word 'attorney' should be capitalized in a sentence when -- of course -- it is the first word of a sentence. Otherwise, it should be capitalized when preceding the name of a specific attorney; i.e., Attorney John Jones acted as defense counsel.

It's a common noun, so you would only capitalize at the start of a sentence or if it were part of a title.
