lawyer vs. attorney

[o-darling]

Никогда до этого не сталкивалась с юрид. темой, а тут попросили статью перевести.

Скажите, какая разница между lawyer и attorney
Контекст:
A LAWYER cannot represent more than one client when there is a conflict of interests between clients. Exceptions can be made if all clients consent to representation after the ATTORNEY gives full disclosure of all the legal consequences of maintaining such a relationship.

(перевод всего абзаца не нужен)
