Both are people you tend to consult when things are not going well for you, in the one case physically and in the other case materially.
Both have a strong duty of client confidentiality.
Both have to study long and hard to qualify and have to continue in service training throughout their careers to keep up to date. |

Hello,
(ANS) Both professions have to study long & hard for intensive degree level qualifications (and pass those degrees before they can practice). I think a degree in Medicine used to be 5years but it may now be shorter?
**Both professions are bound by oaths of professional practice i.e. for doctors its the Hippocratic oath.
**Both are normally members of the governing professional body, for doctors for example they must be members of the Royal College of GP's for family doctors. For lawyers I think they must be members of Bar?
**Both professions are bound by rules of "client confidentiality", because both deal with private & highly sensitive information which must remain private.
**Both professions deal in the analysis of facts & observations & attempt to find a solution or resolution to a problem/s.

The similarities? Education (although more so for doctors)...potentially huge salaries...the oriiginal idea of wanting to help people..although many lawyers lose that I think. |
