A lawyer is, in general terms, a person who has been licensed to practice law.

However, in technical legal terms, a lawyer is simply a person who has studied the law (perhaps with a law degree from a certified school), but has not been admitted to practice law. An unlicensed lawyer (or anyone else) giving legal advice could be committing "unauthorized practice of law".

An "attorney", on the other hand, is a lawyer who has a license to practice law.

Many lawyers never get licensed or do not "practice" in the sense of advising clients on the law.
