der Anwalt, ¨-e
lawyer
Eine Person, die Menschen bei rechtlichen Problemen hilft und sie vor Gericht vertritt.
The German word "Anwalt" is a noun that means "lawyer" or "attorney". The name comes from the old German usage "anwalten" meaning to act on someone's behalf. "Anwalt" typically refers to someone who is legally qualified to represent and advise clients in legal matters.
Similar words in German include "Rechtsanwalt" (especially used for a lawyer authorized officially to represent clients in court), "Verteidiger" (defender, specifically in criminal law), and "Jurist" (jurist or legal scholar generally).
"Anwalt" is more specifically oriented towards the representation aspect in legal situations, while "Jurist" might refer also to someone involved in other legal capacities such as teaching law or engaged in research, not necessarily representing clients before courts.
